00:04Enter!
00:09Squeeze me, please, lady.
00:13Yes, what is it?
00:14I'm coming here to be learning the English.
00:17You're early.
00:18Oh, no, I'm Ali.
00:21I beg your pardon?
00:22My name is Ali, Ali Nadeem.
00:24I'm coming here to be learning the English.
00:27Ah, yes, yes, you wish to join our new class, English as a foreign language.
00:31Yes, please.
00:32And I'm hoping to be unrolled.
00:35Hoping to be unrolled?
00:38Like it say in your syllabus.
00:41You mean hoping to be enrolled.
00:44That is what I said, hoping to be unrolled.
00:48Yes, well, I'm afraid you cannot be unrolled.
00:51Enrolled until the English teacher arrives.
00:54Now, she should be here in a few minutes.
00:55In the meanwhile, perhaps you would care to wait in the classroom.
00:59Go down the corridor, turn left at the bottom and wait in room five.
01:03Understand?
01:04No.
01:07Well, let's start again.
01:09You go down the corridor.
01:11Down corridor.
01:12Good.
01:13Turn left.
01:14Turn left.
01:15Right.
01:17But you are confusing me.
01:20Left or right?
01:21It's left.
01:22It's left.
01:22Left.
01:23Look, you just go down the corridor, turn left and wait in room five.
01:28Room five.
01:30Ah, now I'm understanding you.
01:32Room five.
01:33Yes.
01:34Jolly good.
01:39Oh, dearie me.
01:40I'm not going where I'm looking.
01:42No, I wasn't looking where I was going.
01:45That made us the two of us.
01:46Excuse me, sorry.
01:50Enter.
01:51Hello, Tom.
01:52Mrs. Courtney.
01:53Miss.
01:54Oh, sorry.
01:55I'm your new teacher, Jeremy Brown, BA, Oxon.
01:58You're a man.
02:00Yes.
02:00Well, this is most unsatisfactory.
02:02This won't do at all.
02:03I assure you my credentials are impeccable.
02:05Academically, perhaps.
02:07I'm talking about sex.
02:09I also assure you my morals are perfectly respectable, too.
02:13I'm referring to the fact that you are a man.
02:15I distinctly requested the local authority to send me a woman teacher,
02:19especially in view of what happened with Mr. Warburton.
02:22Mr. Warburton?
02:23Yes.
02:24He was teaching English to foreign students last term.
02:27I'm afraid he only lasted a month.
02:29Then he departed.
02:31Dead?
02:32Demented.
02:35Yes.
02:35The strain was too much for him.
02:38Typical of the male sex.
02:39No stamina.
02:41He always seemed to be able to cope at first,
02:42and then one day he just snapped.
02:44It was really quite disgusting.
02:46Really?
02:46What did he do?
02:48Climbed out of the classroom window onto the roof,
02:50took off all his clothes,
02:51and stood there stark naked,
02:53singing,
02:53I've got a lovely bunch of coconut.
02:57Very distressing.
02:58Well, there's no need to worry on my account.
03:00I mean, I'm not likely to climb out of the classroom window.
03:02I know you aren't.
03:03Oh.
03:04Thank you for your confidence.
03:05It has nothing to do with confidence.
03:07We've had the window frames nailed down.
03:11How very thoughtful.
03:12Well, I really would appreciate the job, Mrs. Courtney.
03:14Miss.
03:15Miss.
03:15I am qualified,
03:16and I rather do need a job,
03:17what with the economic situation and inflation.
03:19All right.
03:20There's no need to whimper.
03:21You can start immediately.
03:23On a month's trial.
03:25If you last that long.
03:27I'll do my best.
03:28Where will I find my students?
03:30Class five down the corridor and turn left.
03:32All right.
03:33Right.
03:33I'm looking forward to meeting them.
03:34I'm sure we're all going to get along extremely well.
03:46Good evening.

08:04Good, good.
08:21It's no good.
08:22I need your name in English.
08:24No Urdu.
08:25No Urdu.
08:27No Urdu.
08:28No, I'm here.
08:29I'm here.
08:31I'm here.
08:32What do you want?
08:33I don't know where to learn from.
08:35I don't know what to learn from you.
08:36See, it will be written.
08:39I don't know.
08:39I don't know what to say.
08:40I don't know what to say.
08:42Ah, certificate of registration.
08:45Jamila Ranja, housewife.
08:48Good.
08:52And your name?
08:54I am Ali Nadeem from Lahore.
08:58I'm working at the moment, not anywhere at all.
09:06You're unemployed?
09:08Yes, please.
09:10Only one day a week I'm working.
09:12What do you do then?
09:14I'm going to the unemployment exchange for people collecting my money.
09:19Oh, blimey.
09:21I get more money for not being working than when I'm working.
09:26Yes, but before you discovered this secret of eternal wealth, what did you do?
09:31Blimey.
09:32Blimey.
09:32I worked at the Taj Mahal.
09:35In Delhi?
09:36Oh, no.
09:37Patini.
09:37Taj Mahal can be the restaurants.
09:40Jalikud, Chapati and Papadams.
09:43A thousand apologies for my lateness.
09:46The omnibus was going backwards.
09:50I'm sure there must be a more logical explanation.
09:52It is the absolute truth.
09:54I was told to be taking a number 27 omnibus and I complied.
10:00But it went in a backward direction.
10:02No, I think you meant it was going the other way.
10:05That is the gist of what I'm saying.
10:07A thousand apologies.
10:09Sorry.
10:09Perhaps you'd like to sit next to Ali, your countryman.
10:11I can't sit there.
10:13It's impossible.
10:14Why is it impossible?
10:15I'm sick.
10:16Oh, dear.
10:19I hope it's not contagious.
10:21Perhaps you ought to come back when you're better.
10:23I do not comprehend the gist of your conversation.
10:26You said you were sick.
10:27No, no, no, no, no.
10:29I am not referring to my physical state of mind.
10:32How do you feel about Roman Catholics?
10:34Oh, I treat them like my brothers.
10:37Good.
10:37Well, you can go and sit next to Giovanni.
10:39A period.
10:40Infidel.
10:40Gentlemen, please.
10:42We're here to learn English, not start a holy war.
10:45And what is your name?
10:47Ranjit Singh.
10:49And you're from which country?
10:50Punjab.
10:52And what is your job?
10:53I am a very important member of the British underground.
10:58Underground what?
11:00Just the underground.
11:03Mind the door!
11:06That underground.
11:09And your name?
11:10Harold Nagasumi.
11:13Harold Nagasumi.
11:18My name is Cardiff.
11:20Japanese.
11:22Representative of Bushida Electronics.
11:26Very good. Very good.
11:28And finally, your name.
11:30Why?
11:31Your name?
11:32What is your name?
11:34Why?
11:35Why?
11:36Look.
11:36Ah, name.
11:37Yes, of course.
11:38Juan Fervantes for serve you, sir.
11:42No need to ask what nationality you are.
11:44Why?
11:46Spanish.
11:47Why?
11:48What is your job?
11:50Why?
11:52Or...
11:54Trabajo. Ah, trabajo, si.
11:57Trilaga.
11:58Trilaga? What, you lag trees?
12:02Washingtoni. Tu whisky coca.
12:05Trilaga.
12:08Trilaga?
12:08Si. Ah, you're working a bar.
12:10Si, si, bar, bar.
12:11Well, Mr. Brown?
12:13Yes, thank you. Apart from one attempted murder and a possible race riot,
12:16I seem to be coping reasonably well.
12:18Well, what I really came to inform you about was the registration fees for the students.
12:22Ah. Now, it's five pounds per head,
12:24and I should be grateful if you would collect the money
12:26and bring it to my office in your tea break.
12:27Right, I'll do that.
12:29Well, we have one thing to be grateful for, anyway.
12:32Sex won't be rearing its ugly little head.
12:34Beg your pardon?
12:35Well, in my experience, it isn't race or religion that causes the problems.
12:39It's usually the presence of some foreign beauty.
12:43Jealousies, intrigues, all that sort of thing.
12:45Yes, well, looking at my class,
12:46I don't think we'll be too bothered with anything like that.
13:00I've come to learn English.
13:02Have I come to the right place?
13:21Enter.
13:22Mrs. Courtney.
13:23Miss.
13:24Miss.
13:25I've just brought the registration fees for the students.
13:27Ah, good. Now, how many students have you?
13:29Nine.
13:30So there should be 45 pounds in there.
13:32Well, that all depends upon the rate of exchange.
13:35I don't mind how many of them.
13:37Not all of them had five pounds in English money,
13:40so I collected 29 pounds 50 in sterling,
13:42and the rest is made up of 2,000 yen, 3,000 lira,
13:45250 pesetas, 75 drachma, 50 francs, and 12 deutschmarks.
13:49According to this morning's financial papers,
13:51that should give us a profit of one pound 42 and a half p.
13:54Then I suggest you take it to the bank in the morning
13:57and convert it to English currency.
13:59Right. I'll do that.
14:01Oh, by the way, how's the femme fatale?
14:03Ah, yes, Danielle.
14:04Well, at the moment, she's in the tea room
14:06with Italy, Spain, and Greece
14:06trying to establish diplomatic relations.
14:09Well, I hope she's not going to cause any bother.
14:11Oh, no, I'm sure she won't.
14:13Look, I'm not going to sit here.
14:15No, it's me who's going to be sitting here.
14:17Before you, we'll sit over there.
14:19And before you, we'll sit over there.
14:22You take it to the bank.
14:23Who, me?
14:24You go back, sit where you were before.
14:26Ah, I sit here.
14:26You're not sitting here.
14:28Ha! Who's going to be stopping me?
14:29Me.
14:32Yourself.
14:33You think you're tough?
14:35Come out of sight.
14:38Okay.
14:41Where are you going?
14:42We go outside to have a punch down.
14:44You mean a punch down?
14:45I'm going to, how you say,
14:47knock his bloody block off.
14:49We see who's bloody blocker he's a knocker dog.
14:53Oh, just a minute.
14:55What is all this about?
14:56I tell you, Mr. White.
14:57Brown.
14:57Oh, no, excuse me.
14:59It's about where we sit.
15:01Well, what's wrong with where you were sitting before?
15:03It's my eyes, professori.
15:05I've got to sit near the front.
15:08Here.
15:11I see.
15:12And I suppose it's got nothing to do with the fact that Danielle is sitting here too?
15:15She is?
15:20I've never noticed.
15:22You see, it's my eyes.
15:23I'm a little shorter sighted.
15:26And also a much bigger line.
15:28It's not true, Mr. Green.
15:29The name is Brown.
15:31You see, I'm a colour blind.
15:37And, Max, I suppose you've got trouble with your eyes as well, have you?
15:40Oh, no, no, no.
15:40My eyes are okay.
15:42It's my ears.
15:44I'm not hearing very well.
15:45That's a likely story.
15:48What you say?
15:50I say you both go back and sit where you were sitting before.
15:53Now.
15:54Santa Maria.
16:00I hope you don't think I was, uh, how you say, too forward?
16:06No, no.
16:07I'm sure you weren't in any way to blame at all.
16:11Teacher, please.
16:15Mr. Blown?
16:17Yes?
16:18Please forgive my rapeness.
16:20I apologise, but I lost my way.
16:22Not to worry.
16:23What is your name?
16:24Chung Su Li.
16:26Chung Su Li.
16:27And where are you from?
16:28Democratic Republic of China.
16:31And what is your job?
16:33Sac-Litaly.
16:34Chinese diplomat.
16:36Very nice.
16:38Right, where shall we put you?
16:40Uh, Taro, how are relations between Japan and China?
16:48Depends on a politicolo view pointo.
16:56Japan, light-wing-go.
16:59China, right-to-wing-go.
17:03I see.
17:04Are you light-wing-go or left-wing-go?
17:06Right-wing-go?
17:07I follow teaching of Chairman Mao.
17:10Ah, well, in that case, you'd better sit next to Jamila, the Indian lady.
17:12All right?
17:13Right, now we will start by learning a few basic English verbs.
17:18And firstly, we will take the verb to be.

19:45To overglow imperial woman.
19:47So say chairman Mao.
19:50Yes, well, that's his opinion.
19:52Good.
19:53Danielle, we are.
19:56Uh, we are lucky to have such words.
20:06Quiet, please.
20:08Rachel, I mean, uh, thank you.
20:11Ali.
20:14You are.
20:18You are.
20:21You are waiting for me to speak an answer.
20:25Well done.
20:27Um, unfortunately, I am not understanding the question.
20:33I want you to give me a sentence using you are.
20:37I am.
20:39No, not I am.
20:40You are.
20:41For example, you are from Pakistan.
20:43I am from Pakistan.
20:45Good.
20:45Yes, but now use you are.
20:48But I cannot say you are from Pakistan because you are not, are you?
20:52Repeat after me.
20:54You are English.
20:56No, no.
20:56I am from Pakistan.
20:58What am I?
21:00You are confusing me.
21:02You are.
21:03You mean poof.
21:05Don't just bury me a poof.
21:07Poof.
21:08I've been treating you.
21:10I've got a lot of money.
21:13Sit down.
21:14I've slept with me, darling.
21:16I've just abandoned you.
21:17Sit down, please.
21:18Right.
21:22And there's really not much more we can do.
21:25Until you all get the textbooks I was telling you about.
21:28What I would like you to do is some homework, all right?
21:31I want you to write me an essay.
21:32A short story about your life here in England.
21:36The things you do, the things you like.
21:39And I'll see you all on Wednesday.
21:46Ah, Mrs. Fortney.
21:47Miss.
21:48Miss.
21:49But I've just dismissed the class for tonight.
21:51I think we've just about covered all there is to for the first session.
21:54You look a trifle under the weather.
21:55Job getting you down already.
21:56No, no, I'm fine.
21:58Never felt better.
22:00Please, just one thing, though.
22:01Yes?
22:01That window you nailed down, the one Mr. Warburton climbed out of.
22:04What about it?
22:05I think we ought to put a few more nails in, just to be on the safe side.
22:16Excuse me, young man.
22:17Yes, ma'am.
22:18Are you in Mr. Brown's class?
22:20Please.
22:21Mr. Brown's class.
22:23Brown.
22:24Mr. Brown.
22:25Ah, sÃ.
22:27Juan Cervantes.
22:29Para servir la señora.
22:31Yes.
22:31But are you in Mr. Brown's class?
22:34English is a foreign language.
22:36Por favor.
22:38Are you really as stupid as you look?
22:41Oh, no, no.
22:42Ah, excuse me.
22:43You are in Mr. Brown's class, aren't you?
22:46Angie.
22:46Are you around you?
22:51Doesn't Mr. Brown teach you anything?
22:53Por favor.
22:55You.
22:56Yes, please, Missy.
22:58Can I be assisting you in any way whatsoever?
23:01Master breakthrough.
23:03Are you in Mr. Brown's class?
23:06No.
23:07I am in corridor.
23:10Do you think you could give him a message?
23:12Most certainly.
23:13I am Miss Courtney.
23:15And I am Ranjit Singh.
23:18Just at this particular moment, I'm not really bothered who you are.
23:21I just want you to give Mr. Brown a message.
23:23I'll be very happy to comply with your request.
23:26Would you tell him I would like a word with him?
23:28Most certainly.
23:30Which word would you like?
23:33Just say I want to speak to him.
23:38Foreigners.
23:42Settle down.
23:47Right.
23:48Good evening.
23:50Adhamurus.
23:51Adhamurus.
23:52So we appear to be some missing.
23:54I hope they haven't dropped out.
23:55Oh, please.
23:56It will not be surprising me.
23:58I am always thinking that Sikh's son of a guru was a Punjabi dropout.
24:03I am hearing what you are saying.
24:05You miserable sport of a kid.
24:08Don't you two start again.
24:10Actually, you are late.
24:11A thousand apologies for this unforgivable tardiness.
24:15But you are all unavoidably detained in the corridor by a lady.
24:20Si, si.
24:21Do I take it, Juan, that you understood what Ranjit was saying?
24:24Por favor.
24:25Oh, sorry.
24:27Who was this lady who detained you in the corridor?
24:30Oh, blimey.
24:32I am forgetting her name.
24:34She was a big lady.
24:36Very large bosoms.
24:40Very good.
24:42Yes, well, while you're trying to remember her name, perhaps you'd better sit down.
24:46Thanks.
24:47Yeah, yeah.
24:48Now, I hope you've all done your homework.
24:50Yes, if I'm sorry.
24:52Excuse me, please.
24:53I am remembering the name.
24:56Missy Courtney.
24:57No, Miss Courtney.
24:59Yes, absolutely.
25:00The lady with the large bosoms.
25:03You can't get to see her.
25:04Yes, well, she'll just have to wait.
25:06Squeeze me, please.
25:08She is already waiting.
25:10She may be the principal, but I have a class to teach.
25:13Now, as I was saying about...
25:15Ah.
25:16Miss, uh, large...
25:19Miss Courtney.
25:20I was just on my way to see you, actually.
25:22That's not the impression I got.
25:24Well, I shan't be a moment, class.
25:25Oh, it's all right.
25:26Don't bother.
25:27I merely wanted to tell you that you can expect another student.
25:29Oh, jolly good.
25:30More the merrier.
25:31You're not here to make merry, Mr. Brown.
25:34No, no.
25:35It was just a figure of speech.
25:36Well, you better try teaching a few figures of speech to your students.
25:38They seem to be in need of it.
25:40I'm doing my best.
25:41Ah.
25:42Oh, Miss Courtney.
25:44Yes?
25:45This new student, what nationality can I expect?
25:47African.
25:48Oh, African.
25:51Right.
25:51Now, you remember I asked you all to write an essay, a short story about your life here
25:55in England.
25:56Yes.
25:56I hope you've all done so, have you?
25:58Yes.
25:58Good, good.
25:59Well, I shall go round the class and ask each of you to read out what you've written.
26:02Anna, shall we start with you?
26:05My Life in England by Anna Schmidt.
26:08Good.
26:09Very good.
26:12Yeah, but go on.
26:13There is no more.
26:15Oh, that's all there is?
26:16Yeah, I have no time to write more.
26:18Only that Mrs. Walker is keeping me busy.
26:21Anna do this, Anna do that.
26:23She is a slave driver, that Mrs. Walker.
26:25Walker.
26:26What?
26:27W is pronounced W.
26:29Your employer's name is Walker.
26:31Yeah, Walker.
26:33Do you know how many shirts Mrs. Walker made me iron last night?
26:37Walker.
26:38Yeah, Walker.
26:39Then I had to prepare a meal for the bitch.
26:46Anna, she may be a hard task, mistress, but I don't think you ought to call her that.
26:50Who?
26:51Mrs. Walker.
26:51Walker.
26:53I was meaning the dog bitch.
26:56Oh, yes, yes.
26:58That is why I'm having no time for the homework.
27:01Yes, well, not to worry.
27:02You really must concentrate on those W sounds.
27:05W.
27:06The.
27:07The work.
27:07The homework.
27:08Danielle, would you like to read us your essay?
27:11Oui.
27:15What I like about England, by Mademoiselle Daniel Favre, telephone 246.
27:24A good carry-on.
27:25Susie.
27:26Yes, Giovanni.
27:27Was that 8021 or 801K?
27:328021.
27:33No, never mind what number it was.
27:35You're here to improve your English, not chat up other students.
27:37You are absolutely right, professori.
27:40It's just, I'd like to improve my French as well.
27:43Well, you can do that in your own time.
27:45Carry on, Danielle.
27:48I like England because the grass is so green and the purple are so nice.
27:53People?
27:54Yes.
27:56Especially the man.
27:59Quiet, quiet.
28:02Englishmen are so charming, so handsome, and so sexy.
28:11Silence, please.
28:13Yeah, I think that'll do, Danielle.
28:15But I've written much more.
28:17All about the things I like to do at night.
28:22Yes, well, I don't think we'd better go into those.
28:25I'll be reading all your essays later.
28:27Jamila, I don't suppose you've written anything, have you?
28:29Have you written anything?
28:36Look, you really, really must start to speak a little, Jamila.
28:40Speak.
28:41Baba.
28:42Oh, okay, yes, yes.
28:43I don't know how many times I want to speak.
28:45No, no, no, no, no, no.
28:46In English, you must try to speak English.
28:50Look, try saying good evening.
28:52Eh?
28:54All right, let's start with the good.
28:56Good.
28:57Good.
28:59It's not difficult, Jamila.
29:00Come on.
29:01Good.
29:05Look, you nearly said it, then.
29:06Come on.
29:07Good.
29:07No, no, no, no, no.
29:09Please, no prompting.
29:15God.
29:16Yeah.
29:17Excellent.
29:18Well done.
29:19Now try evening.
29:20Evening.
29:22It's not difficult, Jamila.
29:23Come on.
29:25Evening.
29:26Yes, yes.
29:27Come on.
29:29God.
29:29Yeah.
29:31I know you can say good.
29:33Say evening.
29:34Evening.
29:36Evening.
29:36Evening.
29:38Havening.
29:41Very good.
29:42Yes, good, good.
29:43Now, put them both together.
29:45Good evening.
29:50God happening.
29:52God happening.
29:54God happening.
29:55God happening.
29:59Good.
30:00What are you doing to you?
30:00God happening.
30:02God happening.
30:02Good, good.
30:03Well done.
30:04We'll try some new words later.
30:06Suli, have you written anything?
30:08Yes, yes.
30:10Fine.
30:15What I like about Ingram.
30:19Ingram is becoming more politically minded and gradually more...
30:24The overthrow of decadent capitalistic government will be too late as working classes become more educated and embrace communism as
30:34the true way of right.
30:37Workers' revolution getting nearer with inevitable corrupts of imperialistic bourgeois intellectual societies.
30:44Yes, well, if that's what you like about England, I wouldn't want to read what you didn't like.
30:49Excuse. Yes. Tarot.
30:59I have smaller observations on young ladies' discourse that will also illustrate increased knowledge of English.
31:15Certainly, Tarot. Go ahead.
31:16With respect, young lady, speak-o. Road of cop-loss.
31:26Attitude typical of fascist Nipponese.
31:29Japan, civilised or country, not like China. Run by peasant talk.
31:35Chinese, not peasant talk.
31:37Japanese, not fascist talk.
31:41Oh, Suleen. Suleen, come on.
31:44Tarot, please go and apologise.
31:46Apologise? Yes.
31:48I'll lose face-o.
31:49Not my photo.
31:50Well, never mind.
31:51Never mind his photo.
31:53Let's go and apologise.
31:57Please.
31:57Oh, Mike, Mike.
31:58We talk.
32:00We talk.
32:02We talk.
32:17Mrs. Courtney.
32:18Miss.
32:19Sir, sir.
32:20I'm Roger Kenyon from the Education Authority.
32:23Oh.
32:24Oh, they told me they were sending an inspector round, but I really didn't expect.
32:28He would be black.
32:29He would be so young.
32:30My apologies.
32:32But the authority likes to check that the standards of the evening classes are up to
32:35par.
32:36Well, I can assure you that my standards here are well over par.
32:39I'm glad to hear it.
32:41Well, Mr. Kenyon, if you'd like to come with me, I'll show you round.
32:43No, no, no, please.
32:44I'd rather just wander around on my own, if you don't mind.
32:47I usually get a much clearer picture that way.
32:55Wait off.
32:56Wait off.
32:57Wait off.
33:02Everything all right?
33:04Everything's okay.
33:05Good.
33:06We have agreed to differ.
33:07Ah, right.
33:08Excuse me, please.
33:09Ah, our new African.
33:11Pardon?
33:12Yeah, I've been expecting you.
33:13Me?
33:14Yes, I was told I'd have a new pupil.
33:15Look, it's nearly time for our tea break, so why don't you just go to the back for a
33:17minute and I'll take your particulars later.
33:20But please.
33:20Now, be a good chap and don't argue.
33:22Just go and sit.
33:22Right?
33:23Yes, but...
33:31Sit.
33:32Yes, please.
33:34Yes, please.
33:34Let me sit.
33:39Okay.
33:41Me?
33:42Sit.
33:58Thank you, love.
33:59There we are.
34:0010p, dear.
34:02Thank you, love.
34:03That's it.
34:04Next.
34:06Oh, there you are.
34:06You sit here.
34:08Merci.
34:12I get the coffee.
34:14Yes.
34:14Coffee black?
34:16Thank you, please.
34:17Coffee black?
34:18Hey, I'll get the coffee for Daniel.
34:21Too bad.
34:22Sugar?
34:23Merci.
34:24How about the biscuit?
34:26Do you like the biscuit?
34:27I would like that.
34:29Good.
34:30I'll be back.
34:34I'll pack the biscuits, please.
34:36Pronto.
34:36Look, wait your time, love.
34:37There's a clue here.
34:39Come on, love.
34:40Come on, love.
34:40Come on, love.
34:41Come on, love.
34:42Come on, love.
34:42Come on, love.
34:42Come on, love.
34:42Next.
34:45Good evening.
34:48Good evening.
34:48Yeah, good evening.
34:49Tea or coffee, love?
34:51Good evening.
34:52Good evening.
34:54I heard you the first time.
34:56Tea or coffee?
34:59Oh-ho.
35:00Tea.
35:01Tea.
35:01Ha-ha.
35:04Tea.
35:06Good evening.
35:07Tea.
35:08Tea.
35:10Oi.
35:10It's all right.
35:11I'll pay for that and a coffee for me, please.
35:13And a coffee for you.
35:16Are you Mr. Brown?
35:18Yes.
35:18Oh, I've got a message for you from her ladyship.
35:22Oh, lady who?
35:23Yeah.
35:24Miss Courtney.
35:25Oh, Miss Courtney.
35:26She's been in here and she wants to see you.
35:28Yeah, I know what she does want.
35:30Yes, Mr. Brown.
35:32Uh, you want to see me?
35:34In my office?
35:35Immediately.
35:36Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
35:38Uh, careful, that's coffee.
35:39You'll spill it.
35:40Por favor.
35:40That's coffee.
35:42Gracias.
35:43Good evening.
35:45Good evening.
35:45Good evening.
35:47Good evening.
35:47Good evening.
35:48Time again, please.
35:49Oh, nothing, Mr. Brown.
35:51Thank you, love.
35:53Packet of biscuits, please.
35:54Oh, I'm sorry, we haven't any left.
35:57Thank you, Maria.
36:14Enter.
36:16It has taken you two minutes 38 seconds exactly to come to my office immediately.
36:21I'm glad I didn't ask you to take your time.
36:24Well, I'm sorry, I was detained.
36:26Well, I thought I'd better tell you that an inspector has arrived.
36:29Oh, my conscience is clear.
36:31I beg your pardon?
36:32Well, apart from the odd parking ticket, I've never had any trouble with the police.
36:36An education, Inspector.
36:38Ah, I see.
36:39I'm sorry.
36:40How stupid of me.
36:41Yes.
36:42Well, you'll probably want to call in on your class.
36:45Oh, well, don't worry.
36:45I'll deal with him.
36:46You don't deal with inspectors from the local authority, Mr. Brown.
36:50You cotted them and flatter them and agree with everything they say.
36:53Yeah, well, I'll do that as well.
36:55I expect you'll want to see your register.
36:57My register?
36:58You do have a register.
37:00Oh, that register.
37:02Yes, of course.
37:02Well, you'd better call it as soon as you get back to your class.
37:06By the way, while you're here, the local authority want me to fill in a few details about you on
37:09this form.
37:10Now, I've got your name.
37:12Yes.
37:13Address.
37:13Yes.
37:14Sex.
37:14Occasionally.
37:20Married?
37:20Sorry.
37:21No, I was engaged once.
37:23As a matter of fact, I proposed marriage, but it didn't really work out.
37:26There was quite a lot of opposition.
37:27Her father?
37:28No, her husband.
37:29I didn't realise she was married at the time.
37:31What do you do during the day?
37:33Oh, well, nothing at the moment.
37:34I'm afraid I'm waiting for a suitable position.
37:36And what was your last position?
37:38Well, I was teaching at a secondary modern school, but I left.
37:40I couldn't stand any more beatings.
37:42Well, I didn't think teachers beat children anymore.
37:44Oh, they don't.
37:44It was the other way round.
37:47I think you'd better take this form and fill it up yourself and bring it back to me later.
37:50Right.
37:50And do be careful what you say to the inspector.
37:53Oh, of course.
37:53Oh, by the way, the new student has arrived.
37:55You won't forget to add the name to the register, will you?
38:03Daniel?
38:05Um, what do you do after class?
38:09I go and learn the English.
38:11Hey, I'm gonna learn the English as well.
38:14Maybe we learn together, huh?
38:15Yes, but what about poor Max?
38:17Yeah.
38:17What about poor Max?
38:19I'm crying my eyes out.
38:23I have an idea.
38:25I have lots of ideas.
38:27Why not you and Max study together, huh?
38:32Right, class, settle down, please.
38:37Quiet.
38:38Now, the first thing we have to do before we do anything else is to call the register.
38:41So sorry.
38:42Ah, that's quite all right.
38:43I expect you'll have a bit of difficulty finding your way round at first.
38:46Things will seem rather strange.
38:48Yes, very strange.
38:50Yes.
38:50Must be quite a change coming from one of the underdeveloped countries to our more advanced way of life.
38:55Oh, yes.
38:57Still, your people are doing remarkably well.
38:58Did you fly here?
39:00Fly?
39:01How do you mean, Buana?
39:05Oh, you fly in a big iron bird.
39:08Brrr.
39:09Quite a change from riding an elephant.
39:13Unless you came by Jumbo.
39:17English joke.
39:20Very funny.
39:22Well, perhaps you'd better sit down.
39:24Right, I'm gonna call out your names and will you please answer present.
39:28Present.
39:30Yes, Sally, but wait until I've called your name out.
39:33Sorry, please.
39:34Ranjit Singh.
39:36Present and correct, please.
39:38Giovanni Coupello?
39:40Si, professori.
39:41No, Giovanni, not professori.
39:43Not professori?
39:44No, you should address me as sir.
39:46Sir?
39:46Yes.
39:49Now I understand.
39:54You have been to get knotted.
40:05Come again?
40:06Well, to become a sir.
40:08You got knotted by the Queen.
40:11The word is knighted and I'm not that kind of sir.
40:15Maximilian Papandrios.
40:18Maximilian Papandrios.
40:19Mr. Brown is speaking to you.
40:21Is he?
40:25Sorry.
40:26You want something?
40:28Are you here or not?
40:31Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
40:35Well, sure I'm here.
40:37Taro Nagasumi.
40:39Asshole.
40:44Present.
40:46Anna Schmidt.
40:47Yeah, present.
40:48Sulie Chung.
40:49Present.
40:51Ali Nadim.
40:52Gift.
40:56Gift.
40:57I'm surprising you know. Each day I'm learning a new English word and I'm
41:05finding that gift is another word for present.
41:14Very ingenious. Thank you very much. Danielle, Favre? Present and I am all here.
41:24I see that. Jamila Ranja.
41:28Anji. Yes, you're here. And Juan Cervantes.
41:36For favor. Present. For favor. You're here. Present.
41:42I better take down your particulars otherwise I may get into hot water.
41:46You are going to have a hot bath?
41:50No, Ali, it's just another way of saying I may get into trouble.
41:53Oh dear. You have been committing some grievous misdemeanor.
41:58Not at all. There's an inspector from the local education authority coming round.
42:02Yeah, the big boss.
42:03Yes, I suppose you could say that but from my experience they're usually interfering old fogies.
42:09You don't like them? Not particularly. Frankly, they're quite useless and about as outdated as their teaching methods.
42:14I mean, what's the point of learning past participles, cognate objects or subordinate clauses?
42:18It's far more useful if they try to teach a foreign student how to order a meal or find accommodation.
42:23You appear to have some rather unique ideas.
42:25Well, I suppose I have. You know, you speak English fairly well.
42:31And what is your name?
42:33Roger Kenyon.
42:34Roger Kenyon.
42:36Ah, yes.
42:36Ah, Miss Courtley, I'm just completing the register and getting the details of our new student before that inspector chappie
42:41hopes he knows you.
42:43Hello.
42:44Mr Brown.
42:46I shan't be a moment, Miss Courtley. What is your job?
42:48Inspector.
42:49Oh. What, local transport?
42:54Local education authority.
42:56Ooh.
43:00I thought he was the new student.
43:02The new student is a female.
43:04Is she? Well, you didn't tell me that.
43:05My apologies, Mr Kenyon, and I do assure you that Mr Brown will be severely dealt with.
43:10I can't remember when I last enjoyed myself so much.
43:13I beg your pardon?
43:14Enjoyed yourself?
43:15You know, Miss Courtley, your Mr Brown is a remarkable man.
43:19I am?
43:19He is?
43:20Yes.
43:21His teaching methods may be somewhat revolutionary, but they appear to work.
43:25I have always encouraged my staff to be forward-thinking.
43:30Well, I'll pass on your comments to the authority.
43:34Perhaps they'll revise their textbooks.
43:36Now, if you'll excuse me, I must put in an appearance at the other classes.
43:43Oh, well, keep up the good work, Mr Brown, and thank you very much for the coffee.
43:49I'll come with you, Mr Kenyon.
43:53Blimey, you are dropping a clinker.
43:59You mean clangor.
44:01Yes, please.
44:02Yes, please.
44:03Yes, well.
44:03Right, let's continue with our lesson.
44:05Get out your textbooks.
44:06I'm going to give you all a few exercises.
44:08Excuse me, Professor.
44:09I can't do any exercises.
44:11Why not?
44:12I've got a bad back.
44:16Excuse me, I was looking for him.
44:18Ah, at last.
44:19A pity you didn't arrive half an hour earlier.
44:21Why?
44:21You might have saved me a great deal of embarrassment with a certain African gentleman.
44:24Oh.
44:25Yes, he was a school's inspector, but I mistook him for you.
44:27You thought a gentleman was me?
44:29Yeah.
44:30The silly fool tried to pretend he was a student and sit at the back to try to catch me
44:33out,
44:33but I saw through him.
44:35I'd rather you think he was a bit stupid.
44:37Oh, definitely.
44:37Thick as a brush.
44:38Was his name Mr Kenyon?
44:40Yes.
44:40Do you know him?
44:41I sure do.
44:43I've come to collect him.
44:44Ah.
44:45I am his wife.
44:47Oh, blimey, yes.
44:49You have dropped another clinker.
