Yes, Sidney? Oh! Hello, Miss Courtney.

Did you want me?

No, I was just giving your
office floor a brush out.

How very kind.

Good evening.

Ah, Mr Brown, just the man I want.

You lucky devil.

Sorry.

Would you step into my
office? Yeah. Not you.

Mr Brown. After you, Miss Courtney.

Do you have a nice
weekend? Oh, very pleasant.

I spent two days in lieu.

In lieu of what?

Oh, in lieu, in Cornwall. Oh, yes.

I have brought something for you.

It's a tape recorder.

Here.

Yes.

Oh, that's very kind of you,
Miss Courtney. Thank you very much.

I didn't expect you to buy me anything.

Well, that's good, because I hadn't.

Oh, but I thought this was a... That
tape recorder belongs to the music class.

I thought it might be a
good idea if you used

it to try to improve
your students' elocution.

Oh, yes, that is a good
idea. How does it work?

It is self-explanatory, Mr Browne.

Stop, start, wind, rewind, record.

Shouldn't there be a microphone?

It is fully built in.

Fully.

When you have finished it, perhaps
you would return it to the music class?

Yes, certainly.

You may go.

Thank you.

Pompous old twit.

That old hen, she's
such a pompous old twit.

Haven't you a class to go
to? Yeah, I was just going.

Oh, just one moment. Something the matter?

Yes, it's still switched on.

Oh, my... My God!

I do hope you weren't being indiscreet.

No, no, of course I never said
anything, did I, Sid? No, not a dicky bird.

Never opened his normal shop.

Well, we'll see, shall we?

I think I'll go sweep the floor.

Yes, I... Stay where you are.

Now, let's see what we can hear.

When you have finished with it,

perhaps you would be kind enough to
return it to the music club? Yes, certainly.

You may go. Thank you.

Here we are. That's it. There's no more.

No, definitely no more. Just a moment.

She's a pompous old twit.

I see. I am a pompous old twit, am I?

That wasn't you.
Really? Good Lord, no, was

it, Sid? No, no, we should never hold in.

Oh!

Then who was it?

Who?

Well, it was... Yes, it was the
other old boy, Gladys the tea lady.

Yes, that's right, Gladys. I would
hardly call Gladys pompous. Oh, wouldn't you?

She can be very pompous at times.

I see. Well, perhaps you would tell
pompous Gladys that I am waiting for my coffee.

Right. Do you know, my horoscope was
right. I was forecast to clash with authority,

ending in disaster. That wasn't disaster.

Yeah, well, the night is still young.

There you are. How are you liking
it? You are very rude, Ranjit. Also,

he's not be spell very good.

Please, Ranjit, lap it
off before Ali arrives.

No, you make Ali very mad.
I am not carry. Yesterday,

Ali is calling me a monkey face.

He shouldn't call you
monkey face. Oh, thank you, Max.

It's not your fault you look like that.

Have I missed something funny?

No, professore, he's still here.

You are liking flowers?

Scusi?

You are liking flowers. Answer yes or no.

Sure I like the flowers. Good.
I'm sending some to your funeral.

Put your knife away.
Giovanni, sit down. Come on.

What hope is there for a multiracial
society if a handful of people can't

sit down together for a couple
of hours without coming to blow?

We only make it a joke. Well, in
future, let's have no more jokes.

They only seem to lead to arguments.

Who's responsible for this?

Come along, I'm waiting. If the
person who's responsible doesn't own up,

you'll all stay behind
and have extra homework.

It was Ranjeet.

I suggest you come out here, Ranjeet,

and rub it off before
Ali comes in and sees it.

Before Ali comes in and sees what?

You are hiding something from me.

Yes, please, I can see my name on
blackboard. We were just about to rub it off.

I can be reporting you to
the monastery of education.

Ministry.

That also.

I'm being surprised at you. Me?

Writing naughty things
like that. I didn't write it.

But you are standing with chalky
in hand. That is circumstantial.

Oh no, that is most definitely chalky.

It was already written before I arrived.

Oh-ho.

Then I'm knowing who is writing
it. It is monkey face. Sit down.

I'll kick you up the caiba.

Sit down.

Listen, if I have any more arguments,

those persons responsible
will be sent home immediately.

Well, that's not safe.
And that goes for you, too.

No more arguments. Me? Never argue.

Always argue. Never. Oh,
yes, you do. Oh, no, I don't.

You're arguing now.

No, you always argue. Sit down.

Right.

Now, tonight we are going to
concentrate on your elocution.

Heaven knows it needs concentrating on.

Right. Now, this is a tape recorder.

Eh, we're going to have
the music while we work.

No, we're not. We're just
going to have the work.

I'm going to ask each of you in
turn to say something into this,

and we'll rewind it and play it back,

and we'll correct any mistakes or
mispronunciations you may make. Right?

You first, Ellie.

Jolly good.

What shall I be saying? Well, just say
anything at all that comes into your mind.

Anything at all that is
coming into my mind? That'll do.

Yes, go on.

Here is the news.

And this is Maximilien Andreas
Archimedes Papandreou speaking it. Today,

we not have any news.
Maybe tomorrow we have some.

My name is Danielle Favre, 36, 21, 35.

I am French, au pair, and
I like all kind of sports,

in the doors and out of the
doors. Thank you, Miss France.

Tarot.

Awesome.

I am be speaking little poetries.

When first I come to school,
I am sit here like a fool.

But Master Ji is teach me how to
speech, and now I speak much more better.

Well, it didn't exactly rhyme.

Master Shakespeare no be rhyme.

No, that's true. He doesn't, not always.

Giovanni.

This is not a talent contest.
Just say a sentence or two. OK.

I am in the English class to
learn how to speak the English.

Now I speak the English.

And you still have a lot to learn.

Ranjit.

Greetings and
salutations to all my friends.

Long life and much
happiness be with you all.

Very nice. I mean, thank you. Well done.

Suli, and spare us the thoughts
of Chairman Mao tonight, please.

Thoughts of Chairman Mao?

Wasted on crafts full of ignorant
followers of imperialistic policies of oppression.

Only China can clue
democracy's frolic. Thank you, Suli.

At least you're consistent.

Juan?

Yes, señor.

I tell you a little story.

My cousin from Madrid, his
wife, she goes up to heaven.

Spiritus Santo Dominus.

And in the funeral, my cousin,
he's very bad. So the priest,

he come to him and say, please, my
son, don't worry. In six months from now,

maybe you'll find another beautiful
senorita and you get married. My cousin,

he said to the priest, six
months, what am I going to do tonight?

Thank you, Munch. I
know plenty more. Yeah,

we'll save them for tea break. All right.

Right, now we'll rewind this, and
you'll all hear how terrible you sound.

You've all got a long
way to go. No, please.

The landlord man I'm staying
with is telling me I am speaking

English much more better than
what he's doing. Is he a Londoner?

No, he's from Turkey.

Well, I wouldn't let it go to your
head, Ranjit. Right, now, pay attention.

But you first, Ali.

Jolly good.

What shall I be saying? Well, just say
anything at all that comes into your mind.

Anything at all that
is coming into my mind?

Um, I don't know.

Who was that? Who was what?

Who were you speaking to? That was you.

You were pulling my leggy.

That was not me. That is a
foreign-sounding man. Exactly. That's how you sound.

Oh, blimey. And all the
time I'm thinking I'm

sounding good like Sir Olivier Laurence.

Laurence Olivier. Yes, please.

You're late, Anna.

Yeah.

You feeling all right?

Yeah. You do not sound all right.

Look, if there's anything that's
troubling you, you can tell us.

We're your friends. That's right.
You let your hair down. Oh, blimey.

How can she be letting her
hair down when it is not up?

Let your hair down means to
get everything off the chest.

Oh, you are be want her
to take off her clothes.

Holy ravioli, these
foreigners are all stupid. Now,

why don't you tell us what's the matter?

For the last time, there's nothing the
matter. You stop asking stupid questions.

I'm perfectly all right.

I'm returning the tape recorder. I
took it back to the music class,

but they'd all gone home.

Oh, very well, you can leave it
there. Have you finished now?

Yes, I've just got to
give them their homework.

I think I've got a slight problem.

Oh?

Your class has one big problem.

I'm rather worried about Anna.

In what way?

She burst into tears when she arrived,

and so far she's refused to
say what's troubling her.

Oh, dear, I do hope it isn't
Miss Rowbottom all over again.

Pardon?

Needlework class, last term.
Exactly the same symptoms.

Weeping all over her
embroidery. Refused to say why.

Did you ever find out what was the matter?

Oh, yes. Was it something serious? As
for Miss Rowbottom, she was pregnant.

Please, Anna, tell us what
is the matter. I'm all right.

How can he be saying you are all right
when you have been crying buckets of water?

You can do nothing to help.

How you know we can do nothing to
help if you not tell us your problem?

All right, I tell you. I have
to go back to West Germany.

Why you got to go back?

My visa has au pair's
kaput. It's finished.

Two years is nearly up. Why not
ask for her extension? Von work.

I have a friend from East
Germany, Eva, also au pair.

She's been told she has
to go back next month.

You now want to go back?

No, I want to stay here.

You can be staying with me.

I hide you. Nobody will
be knowing you are there.

Thank you, Ranjit, but it won't work.
Maybe you ask for diplomatic immunity.

Ah, Sully is right.

You can be a detector.

Defector.

Ah, that is what I mean.

People only defect from east to
west. I'm already in the west.

You can go to Chinese
embassy and join with Republic

of China in fight
against Russian neglations.

I want to stay here in England.

I have answer.

Become British citizen.

Wife automatically take
her nationality of husband.

Hey, that Taro's got something.

You must get married with an Englishman.
Hey, how about Sid? He is an Englishman.

He's already being married.

We put something in the newspaper.

Wanted. Smart Englishman.
Plenty money. Good looks.

To marry beautiful German girl. Very sexy.

I can't do that.

Sure you can.

When I marry, it must be Mr.
Right. Is he English? Who?

It's Mr. Right. Haven't met him yet.

Oh, blimey. How can he be
marrying someone he haven't met yet?

What Anna means, when she marries,
she marries Mr. Right, not Mr. Wrong.

But he's be sound like a foreign person.

Who?

Mr. Wrong.

Don't take any notice of them, Anna.
What I mean is, when I get married,

it must be for love. Why?

You don't have to live with him.

All you've got to do is get a
British passport by getting married.

Then after a couple of
months, you get a divorce.

Who's going to agree to
marry me for a couple of months?

Plenty of people.

Hey, now let's think of something.

First, he's got to be English.

That's right.

And a little bit stupid.

Somebody simple, huh?

Who we can twist round our little finger?

It is impossible.

God will find a way.

Tell me, where is God
going to find a stupid,

simple Englishman whom we can
twist round our little finger?

Deo grazia.

What was that one?

Sorry, nothing, nothing.

Oh, about your homework... Eh, professore,

after class we invite you
to the pub for a drink, eh?

Oh, that's very kind of you. Good.

But I'm afraid I've got
rather a lot of work to do.

Ah, you must come, Bosch. We will be
so disappointed if you do not come.

Ah, well, if you put it
like that, how can I resist?

Now, don't forget, we give Mr.
Brown plenty of the softer soap.

Eh, what is the softer soap?

The flannel.

Soft soap, flannel. Is
he going to have a bath?

I think he means we are going to be
getting Mr. Brown in a good mood.

Eh, why don't you
speak the better English?

Hey, I think they're coming back.

Okey-dokey. Now, not to
worry, Anna. We fix you up, huh?

Here we are, then.

Who ordered what shorts?

Eh, professori, you sit
here next to Anna, huh?

All right, thank you. All
right, now what shall we drink to?

To the future.

To the future. Salute. Cheers.

You ever think about the
future, professoree? Sometimes.

You ever think of getting
married, Bosch? Not really.

Every man should be married.

Especially to a woman.

Men are living by yourself?

Men, no.

Not mean to live by bread alone.

It is not natural.

Men and women are made for each other.

In China, we believe it
is duty of every citizen

to marry and produce brittle citizens.

You are missing a lot of nice pleasures.

You're all very
concerned to get me married off.

We are only wanting you to be happy.

Well, I'm quite happy as I am, thank you.

What about you, Anna? You
haven't said anything yet.

Or are you against marriage?

Oh, no, I would like to be married.

I can't understand why
she's not married already.

Such a beautiful girl, eh, professore?

Pardon?

That Anna, she's a beautiful girl.

One day she's going to
make somebody a nice wife.

She's a wonderful cook.

Good with the house cleaning.

Kind-hearted.

Very careful with the money.

Always up to.

Faithful.

A man would be lucky to have such wife.

I smell something fishy. Oh, blimey.

It must be the curried
prawn I'm having for lunch.

I'm not stupid.

This has something to do
with you, Anna. Am I right?

Yeah.

Okay, we tell you the truth, professori.

Anna is in da big trouble.

Say, she's got to get married.

Got to. Sure, boss.

There is no other way.

Miss Courtney was right, then.

Miss Courtney knows about Anna?

Well, she suspected,
correctly, as it turns out.

Can you no be help her, Master D?
Well, I'll do my best. Now, listen, Anna,

do you know who's
responsible for your condition?

Yeah.

Good. Who is it?

The Home Secretary.

I beg your pardon?

He is the one. You sure? Yeah, I'm sure.

You must be mistaken.

No, he is the one.

Well, I'm afraid he must have been lying.

Who was lying?

Well, this person who told you
that he was the Home Secretary.

What person?

Well, the person who put
you in the state you are in.

Yeah, the Home Secretary.

It couldn't have been the Home Secretary.

It was. My girlfriend, Eva,
is in the same boat with me.

You mean your girlfriend is
also in your condition? Yeah.

Both of you were in the same
boat with the Home Secretary?

Yeah.

I can't believe it.

It's true.

Eva has written to him, but he
says her visa cannot be extended.

And also his ending. That is why I
must get married with an Englishman.

Just a minute. You mean
you want to get married to

stay in the country? Yeah.
And for no other reason?

Nein.

Oh, thank goodness for that.

Kiki, Koki, when do we fix the
wedding? There won't be a wedding.

Gosh, look, Anna, much as I
sympathise with your predicament,

I can't marry you. It wouldn't be right.

I may be old-fashioned, but
I believe that people should

marry for love and not merely
as a matter of convenience.

Yeah, you're right.

Excuse me. I've got to fix my face.

LAUGHTER

Honestly, I'm surprised at you lot.
Concocting a stupid idea like that.

We only wanted to help Anna.
We feel very sorry for her.

Yeah, well, I'm sure you meant well. Oh,
cheers. Come on, I'll get some more drinks.

Poor Anna. She is going to be very sad.

We have to fix something, Giovanni.

Hey, I got it, Maxie.

We get him drunk.

Oh, we get drunk.

Professore!

Then tomorrow we not remember anything.

And we tell him he agreed to marry Anna
in here tonight, in front of the witnesses.

Anna will never agree to that.

Sure she will.

How you know?

We get her drunk as well.

Good evening, Mr. Brown.

Not particularly.

Feeling under the weather? Just a bit. I
had a bit too much to drink last night.

Buona sera, professore.

How are you feeling, Moshe?

Terrible.

Last night you were a very happy man.

Was I? I don't remember.

You're not to remember
dancing on the table.

I didn't.

You did, with Hannah.

Just after you asked her to marry you.

Well, I'm afraid I...

What did you say I did? You asked
Anna to marry you. Oh, no. Oh, yes.

You say you felt sorry for her.

You now want her to go back to
Germany, so you tell her you marry her.

Are you sure?

Positive. She's going
to fix the date tonight.

You're a very lucky man.
Trantantantan, trantantan.

Congratulations.

I don't want
congratulations. Well, come to think of it,

getting splices is more of
an occasion for mourning.

I am not getting married. Well, they seem
to think you are. Well, they are wrong,

and I'm going to tell them so.

Oh.

Right, now, any places,
everybody? Listen, please.

I've got something to tell you about...

Ah, Anna, just the person I want to see.
Mr Brown, what can I say to you? Yeah,

well, I'd rather you didn't say anything.

What you did last night was wunderbar.

Yeah, well, it's about last night, Anna.

I will never forget it.

Anna, will you listen to me?

But I cannot let you marry me.

Yeah, well, I may have had one
or two more... What did you say?

I cannot let you marry me. There's no
need. You mean you found somebody else?

I telephoned Home Secretary.

He can't marry you. He's already got
a wife. LAUGHTER Phone about my visa,

and he tells me I can stay because I'm
part of Common Market. That is good news.

But how can I thank
you for your kind offer?

Oh, well, that was nothing.

Would you have actually done this thing?

Yes, I mean, that's what friends are for.

Wunderbar. You will like Eva. Pardon?

My friend. She is from East
Germany, so she's not in Common Market.

Eva!

Ditches, Mr. Brown? Yes.

Mein Liebchen, come to Abel!
