1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,800
Here we go. 30 seconds, we start making
television.

2
00:00:10,860 --> 00:00:14,180
VTR 3750, part 1, take 1.

3
00:00:15,220 --> 00:00:16,420
15 seconds.

4
00:01:11,140 --> 00:01:14,640
Kind regards, yours, et cetera, et
cetera. And that's the lot. Thank you,

5
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,480
One other thing, Bridget. Will you phone
the Dorchester and book a double room

6
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,080
for tomorrow night for my wife and
myself? It's our wedding anniversary and

7
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,340
we're spending the night in town. Right,
sir. And don't mention it to anyone.

8
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:26,419
It's a surprise.

9
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:28,740
Yes, sir. Right, well, I'm going over to
accounts.

10
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,160
When Abbott comes in, don't let him
disappear. I want to see him. Yes, sir.

11
00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:57,490
Guess who?

12
00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:58,630
Steve McQueen.

13
00:01:58,650 --> 00:01:59,870
No, but you're getting warmer.

14
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:04,150
How do you fancy a quick burn -up on the
M1 tonight?

15
00:02:04,430 --> 00:02:05,810
Don't fancy to walk back, thanks.

16
00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:09,130
That's very funny, that. You're happy.

17
00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:12,370
Well, why not? I've had a good day. It's
an exciting job, you know, travelling

18
00:02:12,370 --> 00:02:15,830
to all the far -flung outposts of the
British Isles. Which far -flung outpost

19
00:02:15,830 --> 00:02:16,830
have you been today, then?

20
00:02:16,950 --> 00:02:18,170
The glue factory at Neasden.

21
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:19,430
What have they done?

22
00:02:19,510 --> 00:02:20,510
What have they done?

23
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:21,550
Write sticky labels.

24
00:02:22,690 --> 00:02:24,190
Oh, what a little comet you are.

25
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:28,120
By the way, J .G. wants to see you.

26
00:02:28,620 --> 00:02:30,760
Pardon? J .G. wants to see you.

27
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:32,680
Is he querying my expenses again?

28
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:33,638
Didn't say.

29
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:35,200
He's getting on my wick, you know that?

30
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,620
I mean, he sits on his fat bottom in
that chair, sends us out, we flog

31
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:41,520
to death, and all he can do is grumble
about our expenses.

32
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:44,880
I'll tell him a few things one day. I
will tell him exactly what I think of

33
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:45,900
Oh,

34
00:02:46,540 --> 00:02:47,980
J .G., ooh.

35
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,620
Looking very smart.

36
00:02:50,140 --> 00:02:51,140
Very dapper, isn't he?

37
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:55,110
Well, don't just stand here. It's not
good for you. Come and sit down.

38
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:57,530
You don't know.

39
00:02:58,150 --> 00:02:59,590
Never stand when you can sit.

40
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:01,570
Comfy? Yes. I'm off.

41
00:03:02,490 --> 00:03:03,490
Yes,

42
00:03:04,110 --> 00:03:05,110
come back and sit down.

43
00:03:05,470 --> 00:03:08,230
If it's about my weekly expenses, I can
explain it.

44
00:03:09,030 --> 00:03:12,650
It was a type of salary. It should have
been £23, not £28.

45
00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:14,950
Oh, thank you. Well, I'll get that
altered.

46
00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:18,130
But, however, I didn't want to ask you
about your expenses.

47
00:03:18,570 --> 00:03:23,500
Oh. Well, if it was a company car, I can
explain that as well. I admit, I did

48
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:24,900
take it to Wolverhampton last Saturday.

49
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,920
Well, Chelsea were playing away, see.

50
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,160
I'll pay for the mileage.

51
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,080
Oh, excellent. Well, I'll make a note of
that. However, I didn't want to ask you

52
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,820
about the company car. It wasn't that.

53
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,040
It wasn't? No.

54
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:39,300
Oh, well, let's have a few more of these
useful chats. Who knows what else I may

55
00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:40,300
find out.

56
00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:42,300
What was it you wanted to see me about,
then?

57
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:44,760
I take it you're finished for the day
now.

58
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,360
Finished? Me?

59
00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:48,220
Five o 'clock.

60
00:03:49,290 --> 00:03:50,290
You know me, J .G.

61
00:03:50,590 --> 00:03:53,930
Always at it. What you do with your
private life is no concern of mine.

62
00:03:55,010 --> 00:04:00,050
No, no. I didn't mean that. I've got to
go to Watford, then Reislip, then all

63
00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:02,850
the way down to Bognor. I mean, I
probably won't be home till about ten o

64
00:04:02,850 --> 00:04:05,990
tonight. I see. Well, there's something
I want you to do for me. Yeah, well,

65
00:04:06,070 --> 00:04:09,690
none of mine's very urgent. Good. Well,
tomorrow is my wedding anniversary.

66
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:12,050
Congratulations.

67
00:04:12,130 --> 00:04:13,290
Twenty -five years.

68
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:14,610
A milestone.

69
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:16,130
A millstone.

70
00:04:18,269 --> 00:04:19,810
We all have our ups and downs, don't we?

71
00:04:20,610 --> 00:04:23,790
You've never met my wife, have you,
Abbott? No, no, I've never had the

72
00:04:24,190 --> 00:04:25,790
It's no pleasure, I assure you.

73
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:27,550
It can't be that bad. Worse.

74
00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:31,650
However, I bought her a mink jacket and
I want you to pick it up and take it

75
00:04:31,650 --> 00:04:34,510
home with you tonight and then bring it
back to the office tomorrow morning.

76
00:04:34,730 --> 00:04:35,930
A mink jacket?

77
00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:38,850
Blimey, that must have set you back a
few bucks. Well, it's an investment,

78
00:04:38,950 --> 00:04:42,130
Abbott, to help make the next 25 years
bearable.

79
00:04:42,350 --> 00:04:46,630
Now, I want you to take the greatest
possible care of it because it costs

80
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,160
Don't you worry about the thing, J .G.
I'll keep it in my house. Good.

81
00:04:50,660 --> 00:04:53,040
Excuse me, sir. Ah, my dear, did you get
the room?

82
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:56,120
I thought you were going to... Oh, it's
all right in front of there, but it's my

83
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,140
wife who mustn't know.

84
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,100
Yes, sir, a double room at the
Dorchester.

85
00:04:59,340 --> 00:05:00,340
There you go.

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:07,640
Charming girl.

87
00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:12,020
Are you sure you're doing the right
thing?

88
00:05:13,540 --> 00:05:15,800
A double room at the Dorchester?

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,439
Oh, that.

90
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,440
On your wedding anniversary?

91
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,840
Yes, well, I do it twice a year, once on
my wedding anniversary and once at

92
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:23,840
Christmas.

93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240
Well, that shouldn't tire you out too
much, will it?

94
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:32,920
Twice a year is quite enough.

95
00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:38,340
Yes, well, for some reason, I think
you're making a big mistake, Daisy. I

96
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,660
not that she isn't a little cracker. I
mean, we all fancy, we all like her,

97
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,700
but... Yeah, I think she's a bit young
for you.

98
00:05:44,980 --> 00:05:48,360
Abbott! I understand. I'm not pointing
the finger. These things happen.

99
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,000
But she could find out.

100
00:05:51,380 --> 00:05:52,740
Who could find out what?

101
00:05:52,980 --> 00:05:56,340
Your millstone could find out what. I
mean, especially in a public place like

102
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:57,340
the Dorchester.

103
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,040
If you really fancy a bit on the side.

104
00:06:00,260 --> 00:06:04,740
A marvellous little place just outside
Maidstone that the boys told me, yes.

105
00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:07,810
No questions asked, and the receptionist
isn't too blooming bad himself.

106
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:12,330
You must understand, I'm not after a
little bit on the side, and I'm not

107
00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:13,470
to seduce my secretary.

108
00:06:14,130 --> 00:06:16,590
I am spending the night with my wife.

109
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,210
Oh!

110
00:06:18,450 --> 00:06:19,950
Wow, that's different, isn't it?

111
00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:21,190
Sit down, it's all right.

112
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:28,490
Yes, I mean, you see, when she came in
and she said the double room, I

113
00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:33,270
assumed, I mean, you being the fellow
that you are, and your wife being what

114
00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:34,270
you...

115
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Where shall I pick up the mink?

116
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,660
Molly? Yes, dear?

117
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:41,140
Do you believe in premarital relations?

118
00:06:41,460 --> 00:06:43,040
I beg your pardon?

119
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,960
She said, do you believe in
premarital... I heard what she said.

120
00:06:47,260 --> 00:06:48,260
Well, do you?

121
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,320
No, I do not.

122
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:50,199
Why not?

123
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,200
They do it all the time in Sweden.

124
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,640
We're not in Sweden.

125
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:56,300
Did you and Daddy have premarital
relations, darling?

126
00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:02,600
Well, it says here that 70 % do, 25 %
don't, and 5 % don't know.

127
00:07:06,990 --> 00:07:09,130
Where did you get a book like that?

128
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:10,430
In your bedroom.

129
00:07:11,710 --> 00:07:12,850
Must be a father's.

130
00:07:13,110 --> 00:07:14,110
Can I have it back?

131
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:15,850
No, you can't. You're too young.

132
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:19,110
Now ask Daddy if he wants soup or
grapefruit. He's upstairs.

133
00:07:19,530 --> 00:07:20,509
Isn't it great?

134
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:23,650
Some days I'm too young and other days I
ought to know better at my age.

135
00:07:23,970 --> 00:07:25,650
Psst. Where's your mother?

136
00:07:25,870 --> 00:07:26,870
Alope with the Coleman.

137
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:28,230
Serves him right.

138
00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:31,670
Where is she? She's in the kitchen.

139
00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:33,650
Don't go away. Stay there.

140
00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:43,600
Have you remembered to buy your mother a
birthday present? Oh, yes. We bought

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,479
her a twin set.

142
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,760
Between us. Pale blue.

143
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,760
Sally chose it. Might pay for it.

144
00:07:49,260 --> 00:07:50,260
You paid for it?

145
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,780
You dipped it to your own pocket?

146
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,320
I don't believe it.

147
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Where did you get the money?

148
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:02,680
Well, I actually didn't pay for it. How
did you actually buy it?

149
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:04,440
Well, actually, I charged it to your
account.

150
00:08:06,020 --> 00:08:07,020
Thank you very much.

151
00:08:07,660 --> 00:08:10,280
back, Daddy. You'll pay me back, yes.
That'll be the day. What did you get,

152
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:10,739
and Dad?

153
00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:14,800
As a matter of fact, I am going to buy a
bath for the budgie.

154
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Am I interrupting anything?

155
00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,400
No, no, no. We're just talking. What
about?

156
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:19,639
Oh, nothing.

157
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Did you ask Daddy? You mean whether you
and he have pre -marital... No!

158
00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:25,740
What was all that?

159
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Nothing, dear.

160
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,300
Do you want soup or grapefruit?

161
00:08:28,580 --> 00:08:29,780
I don't mind. Soup.

162
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:31,140
Soup. Thank you.

163
00:08:31,700 --> 00:08:35,240
Come on, Dad. Your turn. I've decided to
get...

164
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:36,820
A bigger cage.

165
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,880
You know.

166
00:08:38,299 --> 00:08:40,299
Um, tomato or mulligatawny?

167
00:08:40,539 --> 00:08:43,080
Ah, I don't mind. Up to you. No, you
say.

168
00:08:43,380 --> 00:08:44,600
Um, mulligatawny.

169
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:45,900
Don't you like tomato?

170
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:51,020
Well, I... I don't mind tomato, all
right.

171
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:52,580
You just said mulligatawny.

172
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,340
Yeah, well, I don't really care. You
know, it's up to you. Whatever you like.

173
00:08:56,980 --> 00:08:57,799
Mulligatawny, then.

174
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Mulligatawny, then.

175
00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:02,800
Come on, Daddy. The suspense is killing
me. I've decided to get her... Sid! ...a

176
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,340
little ball she can push along with her
beast.

177
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:09,059
to be tomato.

178
00:09:09,060 --> 00:09:10,480
Right, lovely. I love tomato.

179
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:14,560
But I can go out and get a can of
mulligatawny if you prefer. No, no, no,

180
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:17,640
no. Tomato's very nice, thank you.
Tomato'll be very good. Right.

181
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,380
Sorry I didn't settle for grapefruit
now.

182
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Quickly, Dad, before she comes back. I
am going to buy her a nightie.

183
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,240
Daddy, how sexy!

184
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,120
Never mind about that. Go on.

185
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,240
Go and see if your mother's all right.
Keep her busy because I've got a little

186
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,149
problem here.

187
00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:35,390
Listen, Dad, you're going to have to
hurry up for birthday tomorrow morning.

188
00:09:35,390 --> 00:09:38,490
know, mate. I'm going to Harvey's.
They're staying open late tonight.

189
00:09:38,490 --> 00:09:40,570
only one problem. I don't know your
mother's bus size.

190
00:09:41,010 --> 00:09:43,590
Why don't you ask her? That's right.
Spoil the surprise, you fool.

191
00:09:44,410 --> 00:09:46,110
I've got a bra here, but there's nothing
on it.

192
00:09:48,090 --> 00:09:49,090
The lighting's gone.

193
00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:50,650
You can measure it.

194
00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:52,610
That's a good idea.

195
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,860
This is not going to be so easy, you
know. Why not?

196
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,540
Well, it's empty, isn't it?

197
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,660
And how can I measure it properly if
there's nothing in the things?

198
00:10:43,950 --> 00:10:44,950
I'm afraid so, madam.

199
00:10:45,190 --> 00:10:47,150
Oh, well, I'll try one or two on in the
fitting room.

200
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:48,550
Certainly, madam.

201
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:50,750
Thank you.

202
00:11:22,860 --> 00:11:25,440
I, uh... I'd like a nightdress.

203
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,840
Certainly, sir.

204
00:11:27,380 --> 00:11:28,380
It's not for me.

205
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,980
It's for my wife. Of course, sir. What
size bust?

206
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:35,720
Well, uh... I don't really... Medium?

207
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,200
I'm afraid you'll have to be a little
bit more explicit than that, sir.

208
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,220
More explicit.

209
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,560
Well, how does she compare with me?

210
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,340
Uh... Not quite so much.

211
00:11:53,060 --> 00:11:55,080
A little less.

212
00:11:55,700 --> 00:11:56,820
More like this, then.

213
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,720
It's a little more than that.

214
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:03,780
Hang on, hang on.

215
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:11,180
I say, exercise.

216
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,820
Now, what type did you have in mind?

217
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,000
Thin. Thin? Very thin.

218
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,299
Very thin?

219
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:20,300
Thin.

220
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Material. Thin material.

221
00:12:22,140 --> 00:12:23,260
Oh, you mean see -through.

222
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:24,860
Do I?

223
00:12:26,580 --> 00:12:27,580
Yes, sir.

224
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,600
That's it, yes.

225
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:31,120
See -through. I'll just go and get one
or two to show you. Thank you very much.

226
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:32,720
There's a mirror in the fitting room.
Pardon?

227
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,660
If you want to straighten your tie. Oh.

228
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:36,680
Thank you.

229
00:12:53,130 --> 00:12:54,870
Why didn't you think of all this last
night?

230
00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:56,690
Because I didn't want to crease it, did
I?

231
00:12:57,330 --> 00:13:00,230
Well, you didn't think of that when you
tried it on 17 times. Never mind.

232
00:13:00,450 --> 00:13:02,170
Hurry up with the card and put some
kisses on it.

233
00:13:02,710 --> 00:13:03,710
She's coming. Quick.

234
00:13:05,130 --> 00:13:06,930
Happy birthday to you.

235
00:13:07,390 --> 00:13:09,110
Happy birthday to you.

236
00:13:09,530 --> 00:13:11,170
Happy birthday, dear mum.

237
00:13:11,630 --> 00:13:13,250
Happy birthday to you.

238
00:13:59,569 --> 00:14:01,330
Why didn't you say something, Dad?

239
00:14:01,610 --> 00:14:04,290
I couldn't get a word in, could I? She
was all over me.

240
00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:07,170
Daddy, you should have told her. Not in
the kitchen, thank you.

241
00:14:07,610 --> 00:14:09,890
There's too many weapons about, like
bread knives and things.

242
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:11,910
Well, what are you going to do?

243
00:14:12,250 --> 00:14:13,550
I'll have to get it back from her, won't
I?

244
00:14:14,430 --> 00:14:15,430
Ta -da!

245
00:14:17,310 --> 00:14:18,610
Aren't you going to work this morning?

246
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:19,850
Yes, yes, I'm going to work.

247
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:21,150
I've got to twist it. I'm sorry.

248
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:23,170
It's warm in here, isn't it?

249
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:24,610
Very hot.

250
00:14:25,319 --> 00:14:26,319
Oh, scorching.

251
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,780
Aren't you hot with that thing on?

252
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,520
No, I'm never going to take it off.

253
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,240
In fact, I might even go to bed in it
tonight. I still think you shouldn't be

254
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,340
wearing it in the kitchen. It's
dangerous to wear it in the kitchen.

255
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,380
I would hate anything to happen to that.
I mean, it could catch fire on the

256
00:14:39,380 --> 00:14:41,620
cooker, get caught up in the waste
disposal unit.

257
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,460
Sid, anybody would think you want it
back.

258
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:44,680
I do.

259
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,360
I don't. What Daddy means is he wants to
take it back to get it insured. Yeah,

260
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,420
that's what Daddy means.

261
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,960
You should have it insured, Mum. Of
course you should.

262
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:54,700
Oh, well...

263
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:57,300
Where's the box, darling? Upstairs.

264
00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:59,880
I'll put it in. That's a good girl.

265
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,120
So far, so good.

266
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,420
But I will get it back tonight, won't I?

267
00:15:08,580 --> 00:15:12,320
Daddy, you've got to tell her the truth.
I will tell her the truth. When?

268
00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:14,640
When she's ready for the truth.

269
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,240
Good morning, Bridget. Good morning,
sir. You're early.

270
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:22,320
I'm expecting my wife this morning.

271
00:15:22,580 --> 00:15:23,780
Can I take your coat?

272
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:25,380
No, thank you, my dear.

273
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:26,800
And not senile.

274
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:30,320
Morning. What time is Waddy Guts coming
in?

275
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,560
Waddy Guts.

276
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Waddy Guts is already in.

277
00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:34,959
Yes, sir.

278
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Morning. Right, is that my wife's mink?
Yes. Ah, good. Can we have a look at it,

279
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,660
sir? Certainly, my dear.

280
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:44,860
Your wife is lucky. I wish someone would
buy me a mink.

281
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,020
What the devil's that?

282
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,800
That's my wife's nightly.

283
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,960
Abbott, where is my wife's mink?

284
00:15:57,540 --> 00:15:58,540
That's a good question.

285
00:15:59,180 --> 00:16:03,660
I can explain it. You see, I took the
nightie and the mink jacket home to my

286
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,500
place. And my wife liked it so much.

287
00:16:05,820 --> 00:16:08,880
The mink, not the nightie. Because I
bought her for her birthday, you see.

288
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:09,880
nightie, not the mink.

289
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:13,100
And I didn't have the art to tell her.
So I told her I had to get it insured.

290
00:16:13,420 --> 00:16:14,540
The mink, not the nightie.

291
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:15,900
So she wrapped it up.

292
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,440
The mink, not the nightie. And I brought
it here.

293
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,040
And there it is.

294
00:16:20,260 --> 00:16:21,260
The nightie, not the mink.

295
00:16:23,470 --> 00:16:25,110
Where is my wife's mink?

296
00:16:25,550 --> 00:16:26,550
My wife's got it.

297
00:16:26,770 --> 00:16:30,130
Right. If that mink isn't in this office
within one hour, you will be out

298
00:16:30,130 --> 00:16:32,410
permanently. I'll be back before you
know I've got it. Right.

299
00:16:34,650 --> 00:16:36,050
Get me a cup of coffee, Bridget.

300
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:39,010
I have a feeling I'm going to hate
today.

301
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:41,450
Cheer up, sir. It is your anniversary.

302
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:43,450
Exactly.

303
00:16:44,290 --> 00:16:47,470
Your wife's arrived, sir. Come in, my
dear.

304
00:16:48,030 --> 00:16:49,510
Make that two coffees, Bridget.

305
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:52,770
Well, here I am.

306
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,240
So you are.

307
00:16:54,260 --> 00:16:55,260
Sit down, my dear.

308
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Where is it?

309
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,419
Where is it?

310
00:16:59,420 --> 00:17:00,420
My little surprise.

311
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:06,660
Well, another little surprise has just
cropped up. Oh, what's that? It's not

312
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:11,060
here. What's not here? Your surprise.
But don't worry, my dear. It will be

313
00:17:11,060 --> 00:17:14,040
shortly. It's just there's been a tiny
little slip -up.

314
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Geoffrey, you'd better explain.

315
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,660
Nothing to explain, my dear. I'll tell
you what we'll do. We'll go round and

316
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:20,660
collect it ourselves.

317
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:24,180
One of the chaps has been looking after
it for me. He's got it at his house.

318
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,300
I'll just phone through to make sure we
don't cross on the way.

319
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,040
Hello?

320
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:49,160
anniversary present at your house and
brought your birthday present to the

321
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,160
office by mistake.

322
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,900
Anniversary present? Yes.

323
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,080
It wasn't a mink jacket, was it? That's
right.

324
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,400
Would it be convenient if we called
round straight away to collect it?

325
00:18:02,460 --> 00:18:04,060
Are you still there?

326
00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:06,460
Oh, yes. Yes, that'll be convenient.

327
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Thank you.

328
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Don't be upset. Mummy?

329
00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:16,900
We heard.

330
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:19,180
I thought it was too good to be true.

331
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,340
Will you put it in the box, sir?

332
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:23,220
Poor Mummy.

333
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:26,240
He'll be poor Daddy when he gets home.

334
00:18:27,580 --> 00:18:29,920
It was a mistake. He did try to tell
you.

335
00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:31,380
Oh!

336
00:18:31,580 --> 00:18:32,580
Everybody out!

337
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,000
Whoops. There's going to be violence.
I'm off. I can't stand the sight of

338
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:38,400
There won't be any violence.

339
00:18:38,820 --> 00:18:39,820
Gin!

340
00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:49,850
Bet you didn't expect me home so early.

341
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:51,310
No, I didn't.

342
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:53,870
Uh, Jean?

343
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:55,389
Yes, dear.

344
00:18:55,390 --> 00:18:57,030
Uh, Jeannie?

345
00:18:58,170 --> 00:19:04,590
I, uh... I've got to make a confession,
Jean.

346
00:19:04,950 --> 00:19:07,250
So have I. It's about that mink jacket.

347
00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:12,370
It's about that mink jacket. You see,
what happened was I... What did you say?

348
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:15,930
You were right, Sid. I shouldn't have
worn it all the time. What's happened to

349
00:19:15,930 --> 00:19:20,300
it? Well, it's entirely my... What have
you done to it? Well, I was washing up

350
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:21,620
in it. What have you done to it?

351
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:26,900
And the sleeve got caught in the waster
sleeve. Oh, God, I can't believe it.

352
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,420
I'm sorry, Sid.

353
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,680
I'll go.

354
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:36,180
12 ,000 quids worth of shredded mink.

355
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,300
Sidney, you have visitors.

356
00:19:42,460 --> 00:19:43,460
Won't you come in?

357
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960
This is my wife, Sid. How do you do?

358
00:19:46,670 --> 00:19:47,930
Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

359
00:19:48,350 --> 00:19:49,350
No, no, no.

360
00:19:49,530 --> 00:19:52,230
Your face seems familiar.

361
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:54,370
I've got a familiar face.

362
00:19:55,450 --> 00:19:56,450
Won't you sit down?

363
00:19:56,730 --> 00:19:57,730
Yes, thank you.

364
00:19:58,130 --> 00:19:59,130
Sidney.

365
00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:02,750
Yes, well, we won't stay long. We've
just called to pick up the you -know

366
00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:04,510
Can I get you a drink?

367
00:20:04,750 --> 00:20:08,210
No, thanks. We've just called to pick up
the present and we'll be off. Oh, I

368
00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:09,710
think we can stay for a drink, dear.

369
00:20:09,950 --> 00:20:11,150
Oh, of course you can.

370
00:20:11,390 --> 00:20:12,850
A sherry or a glass of wine?

371
00:20:13,070 --> 00:20:15,070
A large Randian soda, please.

372
00:20:16,870 --> 00:20:21,750
You see, my wife had an unfortunate
experience last night in Harvey's

373
00:20:21,750 --> 00:20:24,390
store. Oh, it was dreadful. What
happened?

374
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:26,510
A man tried to rape me.

375
00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:36,770
Oh, he was a monster.

376
00:20:37,010 --> 00:20:39,410
He had the most evil looking face.

377
00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:40,630
Oh,

378
00:20:41,890 --> 00:20:44,110
thank you. How about you, Judge? No,
thank you.

379
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,440
Where's the thingy?

380
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,880
Pardon?

381
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:49,660
Where is it?

382
00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:51,640
Oh, up there, second on the left.

383
00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:55,260
My wife's present.

384
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,640
Your wife's present.

385
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Another drink, Mrs. Gordon?

386
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,840
Oh, thank you. You?

387
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,820
You know, my dear, you ought to join our
ladies' luncheon guild. You'd enjoy it.

388
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,180
Oh, thank you, but I'm on a diet. Yes,
well, so are most of us. But the

389
00:21:09,180 --> 00:21:10,860
good. Thank you.

390
00:21:11,830 --> 00:21:16,450
And we do have our serious side, you
know. Why, at our last meeting, we

391
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:22,770
resolution supporting the Wildlife Trust
Fund and damning all blood sports and

392
00:21:22,770 --> 00:21:23,770
fur trapping.

393
00:21:24,270 --> 00:21:25,770
Damning fur trapping?

394
00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:32,270
Well, it's a most savage, barbaric
custom. Barbaric? But you've always

395
00:21:32,270 --> 00:21:33,049
fur coat.

396
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:35,770
If I got one now, I'd throw it out.

397
00:21:36,270 --> 00:21:37,390
Throw it out?

398
00:21:37,930 --> 00:21:39,310
Have you got a fur coat?

399
00:21:39,650 --> 00:21:40,650
No.

400
00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:42,020
It's the wild love.

401
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:47,120
Well, dear, I really think we'd better
be going.

402
00:21:47,500 --> 00:21:48,900
Can I have my surprise?

403
00:21:49,340 --> 00:21:50,620
Oh, it'll be a surprise, all right.

404
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,240
Happy anniversary.

405
00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:53,840
Oh, thank you.

406
00:21:55,060 --> 00:21:58,880
Can I open it here? Well, we haven't
really got time yet. Oh, yes, it'll only

407
00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,859
take a minute.

408
00:21:59,860 --> 00:22:01,940
Oh, Geoffrey.

409
00:22:02,460 --> 00:22:06,720
Sid, isn't that... Oh, Geoffrey, you
romantic old thing.

410
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,540
I beg your pardon.

411
00:22:11,500 --> 00:22:12,399
How fancy.

412
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Married for 25 years and he's buying me
a see -through nightie.

413
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,680
Oh, aren't men surprising creatures?

414
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:20,819
Aren't they?

415
00:22:20,820 --> 00:22:23,200
Oh, thank you, darling. Oh, it's a
pleasure.

416
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,320
Excuse me a moment, dear. Sidney.

417
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,640
Here, mate.

418
00:22:28,740 --> 00:22:30,160
Why, well, that was quick.

419
00:22:30,580 --> 00:22:34,520
Yeah, wasn't it? Yes, yes, well, that's
got me out of a real hole. Yeah, well, I

420
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,380
think that's enough of it. Oh, I do, I
do, I do, but what about the mink? Yeah,

421
00:22:37,380 --> 00:22:40,060
well, I wouldn't tell you to sleep. It's
no use to me now, is it?

422
00:22:40,330 --> 00:22:42,890
Do you think your wife would like it?
Well, she'd love it, but the sleeve

423
00:22:42,890 --> 00:22:45,950
I'll tell you what we'll do. You hang on
to the mink, I hang on to the nightie,

424
00:22:45,950 --> 00:22:49,390
and we'll call it quits. You're joking.
I can't afford it. Oh, don't worry about

425
00:22:49,390 --> 00:22:53,810
the cost. It's worthy for the peace of
mind. Why, if I'd given her that fur,

426
00:22:53,810 --> 00:22:56,190
you imagine what the next 25 years would
be like?

427
00:22:57,030 --> 00:23:01,350
Come on, dear. Time for off. Well,
goodbye, Mr. Abbott. Goodbye, Mrs.

428
00:23:01,350 --> 00:23:03,350
do wish I could think where it was I've
seen you before.

429
00:23:04,310 --> 00:23:06,930
Right. I'll see you at the office, Sid.
Right.

430
00:23:07,170 --> 00:23:08,810
No, take tomorrow off.

431
00:23:09,820 --> 00:23:10,679
It's Sunday.

432
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:11,680
I know.

433
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,400
Well, I can do with a drink.

434
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Here you are, dear. Thank you.

435
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,739
Hostility's over?

436
00:23:25,740 --> 00:23:26,740
They never began.

437
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,980
Really? I can't find a box.

438
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:33,220
Just a minute.

439
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,440
You told me the sleeve... I was pulling
your leg.

440
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,520
You... crafty little devil you.

441
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:41,760
Well, you can take it back to the office
tomorrow.

442
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,260
Take it back to the office.

443
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,960
And you've just given away my nightie.

444
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,060
Darling, it's your birthday and you're
going to have it.

445
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,020
But you can't afford this. I know. I
can't afford it. I'll just have to make

446
00:23:55,020 --> 00:23:56,020
lot of sacrifices.

447
00:23:57,940 --> 00:23:59,700
But for you, my darling, it's worth it.

448
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:04,420
Dad, you are too much. Yes, aren't I?
You're super, Daddy. Thank you very

449
00:24:04,620 --> 00:24:05,740
I don't know what to say.

450
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,120
How about have another drink?

451
00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:09,690
Thanks, I will.
