00:00Do-do-do-do-do
00:30Do-do-do-do-do-do
00:33Ah, good evening, everyone.
00:43Not all here yet, then, I see.
00:45Oh, well, not to worry.
00:47Ah, good evening, Giovanni.
00:49Ah, it's not good, anything.
00:50Why, what's the matter?
00:51I've got a terrible overhang.
00:54The word is hangover?
00:56Well, whatever it is, I've got it.
00:57I drank too much vino at lunchtime.
00:59Oh, it's fatal to drink at mid-day.
01:01Oh, good evening, Max.
01:03Oh, please, don't speak too loud.
01:05I am thinking you have been also looking on the wine too much.
01:10That's the trouble.
01:12He's not looking, he's drinking like me.
01:14Why did you drink so much?
01:16It was the feast of my patron saint, Saint Maximilio.
01:19So we had a drink.
01:21Then we drink to my patron, Saint Giovanni.
01:23Then we have a drink for my patriarch.
01:25Then one for the Pope.
01:26Archimedes.
01:27Leonardo da Vinci.
01:28Helena Mercuri.
01:29Sophia Loren.
01:30And after that, I remember nothing.
01:34Me neither.
01:35Yeah, we're going to sit down gently.
01:42Squeeze me, please.
01:48Ah, that way.
01:50Ali, what are you doing?
01:51I'm checking with my compass.
01:53Yeah, but checking what?
01:54I'm wanting to find out where is Mecca.
01:56Hey, I know where Mecca is.
01:59It's a big dance place in Amersfield.
02:02Ah, you spaghetti head.
02:04You are not understanding.
02:06I'm explaining to you.
02:08Tomorrow, I'm having the honor of reading the prayer in our holy mosque.
02:12So tonight, I'm going to have a practice after the class.
02:16Ah, waste of time.
02:17Ah, waste of time.
02:18The sea, Trinidad, is the true faith?
02:20That's not true.
02:22Oh, Catholic religion is a true faith.
02:24No.
02:24No.
02:24No.
02:25Roman Catholic.
02:26What about Greek Orthodox?
02:30What about Martin Luther?
02:31Chintot.
02:32Put up.
02:33Religion not true.
02:34Only state is true.
02:35No.
02:35Let alone, everyone.
02:40Sit down.
02:41Actually, you're all wrong.
02:43According to the Bible, the original true faith was the Jewish one.
02:46I don't believe it.
02:47It's true.
02:48It's holy writ.
02:49Who writ it?
02:52The holy writ is the Bible.
02:54Yeah, you can't believe everything you read in the Bible.
02:57No, why not?
02:58Well, some of it's, how you say, fairy's tales.
03:01You take that Adam and Eve.
03:03Now, you're not going to tell me it was only an apple he was after.
03:07I know what she was after.
03:12I'm sure you do, but we won't pursue that.
03:15You're here to improve your English, not disprove the Bible.
03:18Danielle is late this evening.
03:20However, we'll carry on without her.
03:21As you know, in a few weeks' time, you will all be taking your lower Cambridge.
03:25So tonight, I thought I'd give you an oral examination.
03:28You are wanting to look at our tooth?
03:30No, I mean that I'm going to go around the class
03:32and ask you all to give me some answers
03:34and hope that I get some correct ones.
03:36We are having a quiz.
03:38Yes, sort of.
03:39Like Mr. Mind.
03:42Mastermind.
03:42Yes, please.
03:44Yes, actually, that's not a bad idea, Ellie.
03:45Let's make it competitive.
03:47We'll have a knockout competition.
03:49You mean like the big punch-up?
03:50No, no, no.
03:51Only verbally I go around the class
03:53and whoever fails to answer a question correctly
03:55drops out, all right?
03:57Now, where shall we start?
03:58Yes, Jamila, I'll give you an easy one to start with.
04:01What is the plural of goose?
04:04Goose?
04:05Yes.
04:06One goose, two...
04:07Gooses?
04:09She's knockered out.
04:11You know, the plural of goose is geese.
04:13Oh, ha, geese.
04:14Hmm.
04:15We won't count that.
04:16Let's have another one.
04:18Let me see.
04:19What is the opposite of good?
04:22Not good.
04:24No, I would have preferred you to have said bad,
04:26but we'll accept that.
04:28All right.
04:29Giovanni, what is an epistle?
04:31Oh, that's easy.
04:34An epistle is the wife of an apostle.
04:40That's you, huh?
04:41I'm wrong.
04:42Yes, an epistle is a letter.
04:45Max, give me another word for forward.
04:48McDonald.
04:49McDonald?
04:50Yeah, he plays forward for Arsenal.
04:52I don't mean that kind of forward.
04:55Another word for moving forward.
04:58Ah.
04:58Advance?
04:59Advance, yes, good.
05:00Well done.
05:01Anna, another word for debunk.
05:05Debed.
05:08No, Anna, it means to ridicule.
05:11Ali, correct the following sentence.
05:13Last night I am going to the cinema.
05:16Last night I am not going to the cinema.
05:20Wrong.
05:21It is not wrong.
05:22Because last night I am not going anywhere at all.
05:26You should have said last night I went to the cinema.
05:28But I am telling you, I didn't went.
05:31It doesn't matter whether you did or didn't.
05:33You are out.
05:34All right?
05:35Ah.
05:35I am sorry I am so late, Mr. Bond.
05:37That's all right, Danielle.
05:38Were you held up by the traffic?
05:39No, I was held up by a man.
05:42Tervens?
05:42You mean a mugger?
05:43I do not know his name.
05:46But he works as a woodwork teacher here in the school.
05:49One of the teachers here tried to rob you.
05:51No, not rob me.
05:53Oh, well, surely not, er...
05:54He was trying to chatter me up.
05:56Oh, I see.
05:57He wanted to take me out.
05:59You want I give him a bunch of favours?
06:03He's bigger than you, Max.
06:04Everybody's bigger than Max.
06:07Hey!
06:08Watch what you're saying, huh?
06:10Listen, Nana Mascuri, you don't cry.
06:13Okay, come outside.
06:14All right, settle down, you two.
06:16Come on, don't worry about it, Danielle.
06:17I'm sure that this woodwork teacher, whatever his name is,
06:20was only trying to be friendly.
06:21But he was trying to be more than friendly.
06:24He would not let me go past until I agreed to have dinner with him.
06:27He does seem to have been rather persistent.
06:29Then, Eureka, I have, how you say, a brainwash.
06:33Wait.
06:35Yes.
06:36I tell him I cannot go out with him because I am engaged to be married.
06:40Oh, very good.
06:41Quick thinking.
06:42There's only one problem.
06:43What was that?
06:44I tell him I'm engaged to be married to you.
06:47Me?
06:49Yes.
06:50It was a good idea, yes?
06:51It was a good idea, no.
06:53Did anybody overhear you?
06:54Only Gladys.
06:55Oh, great.
06:55That's worse than putting it on news at ten.
06:57It'll be away at the school by now.
06:58You say that Mr. Brown is engaged to his French student?
07:03That's right.
07:03I heard her tell Mr. Jarvis in the tea room.
07:06Well, this is absolutely disgraceful.
07:09I think he might have had the decency to tell me first.
07:12Tell you?
07:13Yes.
07:14It's most inconsiderate.
07:16Oh, dear.
07:18I'm sorry.
07:19I didn't know.
07:21Didn't know what?
07:22Oh, nothing.
07:23Nothing.
07:24I must be getting back.
07:30Oh, Gladys.
07:31Did you say anything to Miss Courtney about Danielle and me?
07:33Oh, only in passing.
07:35Oh, great.
07:36I'll be able to check it.
07:36I didn't mean any harm.
07:38I'd no idea she felt that way.
07:40What way?
07:40About you.
07:41Yes, what are you talking about?
07:42Oh, unrequited love.
07:45Pardon?
07:46You and her ladyship.
07:48She fancies you.
07:49Oh, don't be ridiculous.
07:50Yeah.
07:51Oh, it's true.
07:52Oh, she was very upset when she heard about you and Danielle.
07:55Poor soul.
07:56Gladys, I don't know where you got this ridiculous story from, but you are completely mistaken.
07:59Oh, no, I'm not.
08:00Oh, no, I'm not.
08:00I heard her.
08:01What?
08:02You mean she told you that she fancied me?
08:05Well, not in so many words, but I knew.
08:07It was written all over her face.
08:09I can't believe it.
08:10Yes, oh, it's not unusual, though.
08:13Oh, lots of older women fall for younger men.
08:16My sister ran off with the 30-year-old milkman.
08:19Really?
08:20How old was your sister?
08:2165.
08:21But Miss Courtney's always given me the impression that she didn't like me.
08:26Oh, well, women are very funny, and she's at a funny age.
08:31Yeah, who can say that again?
08:33Well, the best of luck.
08:36Come to think of it, you're not far off it yourself.
08:41Enter?
08:42Miss Courtney.
08:44Well, well, if it isn't the college Casanova.
08:48Yes, well, I've come to explain about that.
08:50Are you sure you can spare the time?
08:52It's a complete misunderstanding, you see.
08:53I'm not really engaged to Danielle.
08:55She only said that to stop one of the teachers from pestering her.
08:58Really?
08:58Oh, it's perfectly true.
08:59The chap who takes the woodwork class was trying to chat her up.
09:02Mr. Jarvis.
09:03Is that his name?
09:04Well, I've never met him.
09:05Anyway, she concocted the whole thing just to get out of an embarrassing situation.
09:08I see.
09:09I'm terribly sorry, especially in view of, um, well.
09:13In view of what?
09:15Yeah, well, I hardly like to mention it.
09:16Well, you have mentioned it, so you may as well continue.
09:18Well, let me say right away that it's a perfectly natural thing to happen.
09:21What is?
09:22Well, for one person to be attracted to another despite a difference in their ages.
09:26To what two persons are you referring?
09:29Well, you and I.
09:32You and I?
09:34Yes.
09:34Oh, Mr. Brown, I've no idea you felt like that about me.
09:41Pardon?
09:42Well, as you said yourself, it's perfectly natural.
09:45Oh, you poor dear boy.
09:47Oh, no, Miss Courtney, you don't understand.
09:49Oh, but I do.
09:50Men have always found me rather fascinating.
09:53Yeah, I'm sure they have.
09:54Look, let me explain.
09:55Now, there's no need to apologise for the way you feel.
09:58Yes, but I'm...
09:58Of course, it's out of the question.
10:00But, Miss Courtney, please.
10:01Now, don't start grovelling.
10:04Go get over it.
10:06Yes, I suppose I will.
10:08And now, I suggest you go and squash this foolish rumour about you and your French fiancée.
10:13Right, I'll do that.
10:15And, Mr. Brown?
10:17Yes, Miss Courtney?
10:18Don't worry about this other little affair.
10:21I shan't tell a soul.
10:23Your secret is safe with me.
10:25You're very kind.
10:26Poor fellow.
10:29Oh, come on, Daniel.
10:31Here's a kiss.
10:31Come on, Lord.
10:32Mr. Brown!
10:33Daniel, aren't you in the classroom?
10:35I am trying to explain to Mr. Jarvis what I said between us is not true.
10:39Sure.
10:40It's every man for himself, is it, Brown?
10:42Look, I'd appreciate it, Mr. Jarvis, if you stopped pestering my students, if you don't mind.
10:46A bit sensitive, aren't we?
10:48Touch of the green eye, is it?
10:49Certainly not.
10:50Well, then, as they say in this lovely lady's land, fermée la bouche.
10:54Shut your gob!
10:55Don't you speak to Mr. Brown like this.
10:57He will be angry with you.
10:58Oh, really?
10:59He is not frightened of you.
11:00Oh, aren't you?
11:01Well, I'm not.
11:02No, he is not.
11:03And if you're not careful, he will hit you.
11:05Daniel.
11:06He couldn't hit a fly.
11:07Look, Jarvis, I'm not any slighter.
11:08And he is ready whenever you are.
11:11Right.
11:11Tonight, after class, in the yard.
11:14We'll have a bunch-up.
11:15Yeah, but...
11:16Hey, Mr. Brown.
11:34Oh, thanks, Sid.
11:36Uh, fancy a chop of tiddly?
11:37Hmm?
11:38A tiddlywink.
11:39Tiddlywink?
11:39A drink.
11:40Oh, a drink.
11:40A chop of Jack the Dandy.
11:41Jack the Dandy?
11:42A chop of brandy.
11:43Oh, yeah.
11:44Get this joke up with a big fight.
11:46No, thanks.
11:47Please yourself.
11:49I suppose it's all over the school?
11:51Ah, the news has got around.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Here, listen, I can give you a few tips, you know.
11:56Tips?
11:56Yeah, I used to read and write.
11:58Oh, er, fight.
11:59You've got it, you've got it.
12:00Listen, I'll tell you what you do.
12:02You put your hands up like that.
12:03You stand there and you start weaving.
12:06All of a sudden, you do the anti-shuffle.
12:08And you're back to it!
12:10I'm sorry!
12:11Actually, I feel rather nervous.
12:13Oh, it's the analadine, eh?
12:14The analadine?
12:15Yeah.
12:16Adrenaline?
12:16Oh, well, you should know.
12:18Well, you should be all right once you've hit him a couple of times.
12:21Yeah, it's him hitting me that's worrying me.
12:23Perhaps if I had a quiet word with him, he might forget the whole thing.
12:26Listen, you can't back out of it now.
12:27There's a principle involved.
12:29Well, let her fight, Mr Jarvis.
12:30They're more evenly matched.
12:32Yeah, but listen, it's a point of honour.
12:34You mustn't let Mr Jarvis know you're frightened of him.
12:36I think he knows already.
12:38Oh, well, I'll see you later.
12:39Don't forget the old one, too.
12:40All right, thanks.
12:41Hey, I think, all right?
12:43Professor, this fight.
12:45What about it?
12:45Well, we'll show you how to win.
12:48When you get in the ring, first you smash him in the stomach.
12:51And when his head comes down, you knee him under the cheek.
12:53No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:56Much better.
12:57Chomp on the back of my head.
12:59No, no, no, no, no.
13:01First, you hit him in the throat, and then you butt him in the stomach.
13:04No, no, no, no.
13:06All right, all right.
13:07I don't want any more fighting.
13:09You're here to learn English.
13:10I mean, don't forget why you're here.
13:12Right, now, who haven't I asked a question so far?
13:15Right, Sulee, give me the comparative and the superlative of the following adjective, all right?
13:21Rude.
13:22Lude, lude, lude.
13:23Right, right.
13:27Ranjit, complete the following proverb.
13:28A bird in the hand...
13:30Makes mess on your wrist.
13:37A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
13:40You're out.
13:42Right, Danielle, explain the meaning of the word illiterate.
13:46That is someone whose parents are not married.
13:50Oh, Danielle, that's illegitimate.
13:53Sorry.
13:54Juan.
13:55Si, senor.
13:55Give me the opposite of the following words.
13:58Ready?
13:58Not ready.
13:59Yeah, I haven't started.
14:02Juan.
14:02I lost.
14:04That's enough.
14:05That's not enough.
14:07Stop.
14:07Go.
14:08Sit down.
14:09Stand up.
14:10Oh, somebody stop him, please.
14:12Silencio.
14:13Hey, I do good, eh?
14:15Yeah, it's good.
14:16Yo soy un talento.
14:18Right, Tarot.
14:19What's up?
14:21Give me the following tenses of the verb to move.
14:24Past perfect, the present perfect, the past continuous.
14:31Well, say something, Tarot.
14:33I'm out.
14:37Right, let's see what we've got left in.
14:40Yeah, well, let's see how many of you can survive another round.
14:42Dr Miller, can you count up to ten?
14:44Ten?
14:45Count up to ten.
14:48One, two, three.
14:49Eight, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine, nine.
14:52No, no, no, no.
14:53In English.
14:56One.
14:57Yep.
14:58Two.
15:00Four.
15:00Three.
15:03Six.
15:03Four.
15:04Sorry, Jim.
15:06Max, give me another word and explain to me what is the meaning of syntax.
15:11Is it a tax you pay when you go to the church?
15:17No, it means sentence construction.
15:20Julie, spell democracy.
15:23C-H-I-N-A.
15:25I suppose if I'd asked you to spell dictatorship, you'd have spelt out England.
15:30Or America.
15:33Well, Juan, that leaves only you.
15:35If you can answer the next question correctly, you will be the brain of the class, which doesn't
15:39say an awful lot for the rest of you.
15:42Por favor.
15:43No, no, no.
15:44Here is your question.
15:45What is another name for a valley between two mountains?
15:50Valley between two mountains.
15:52Si, yes.
15:52Eh, pass.
15:56What?
16:05All right.
16:06Yes.
16:10I win.
16:12I am the big talent, the big bride.
16:15Yeah, it goes with your big head.
16:17No, no, no, don't stop, please.
16:20Don't sit down.
16:21Excuse me, please, Mr. Brown.
16:23Yes, Ali.
16:23It is home-going time.
16:25Yeah, well, not quite.
16:26But you are wanting to get ready for your big fight tonight with the Utpecker teacher.
16:30We are wanting to be there in time to see you not the stiffing out of him.
16:36There's not going to be any fight.
16:38You not mean that.
16:39I do.
16:40Santa Maria, what about all the money we bet?
16:43Honey, are you betting on the result?
16:47Sure.
16:48We all put in one pound each.
16:50What, ten pounds on me to win?
16:52No, we back the other thing.
16:55Thanks a lot.
16:56No, I'm only joking.
16:58Sure, we back you to win.
17:00You ready, then?
17:02Ready?
17:02Yeah, for the fight.
17:04Ah, yes, the fight.
17:05Look, could I have a word with you, Mr. Jarvis, outside?
17:08All right.
17:10Well?
17:11Look, we're both reasonable men.
17:14I'm not.
17:15Look, I'm sure we can settle this amicably.
17:18Yeah, I'm sure we can.
17:19Oh, good.
17:19Not that I've knocked your block off.
17:21Ah, just the two persons I wanted to see.
17:24What's all this I hear about a fight?
17:26It's just a private matter between Mr. Brown and myself.
17:30Nonsense.
17:30It's common knowledge throughout the whole school.
17:33Now step into my office, shut the door behind you,
17:35and take heed, for I shall not tell you again.
17:38I will not have members of my staff brawling in public.
17:42I absolutely forbid it.
17:44You do?
17:44Most definitely.
17:45Oh, good.
17:46I mean, what a pity.
17:47I was quite looking forward to it.
17:48That's not the impression I got.
17:50You mean to tell me that you were actually looking forward to this fight?
17:54Oh, yes.
17:54Besides, there was a point of honour at stake.
17:56What point of honour?
17:57Well, this person insulted Miss Danielle Favre.
17:59He forced his attentions on her.
18:01I see.
18:04Male chauvinism, eh, Mr. Jarvis?
18:07Well, why not?
18:08Will he like to be dominated?
18:09Nonsense.
18:10Oh, come now, Miss Courtney.
18:12He manages by nature the hunting.
18:14Oh, well, this puts an entirely different complexion on the matter.
18:18It does?
18:18Yes.
18:19Much as I abhor fighting, I feel that under the circumstances, perhaps your motives were
18:25justified.
18:27Well, we can have our little punch-up in the yard.
18:31Certainly not.
18:32Oh, thank goodness.
18:33You will settle your differences in a much more civilised and sporting manner.
18:37Oh, I quite agree.
18:38How about a game of chess?
18:40The school has a perfectly good gymnasium.
18:45If you must knock each other about, I suggest you do it there, tomorrow night, after class.
18:56Where is Mr. Brown?
18:58He's just putting his gloves on.
19:00Oh, there he comes now.
19:01Sit down, please.
19:12Oh, thank you.
19:13I have something for you.
19:14What, sir?
19:14If you put this in his glove, you'll be pretty, his gloves on.
19:17Yeah, and probably my wrist, too.
19:19No, thank you.
19:19You're right.
19:19Excuse me, please.
19:23No, Tara.
19:24You do that after each round.
19:25All right.
19:26All right.
19:27All right.
19:29All right.
19:30Gentlemen, please.
19:32All right.
19:32Quiet, please.
19:34Ladies and gentlemen, this is a three-round contest, three minutes each round.
19:40On my right, from the woodwork department, Nigel Jarvis.
19:48And on my left, from the language class, Jeremy Brown.
19:53Hey!
19:57Come on.
19:59Come on.
19:59Come on.
20:00Now, listen.
20:01I want a good, clean fight.
20:02Remember this.
20:03I want no scratching, bulging, gouging, hitting below the belt.
20:06Shake hands now.
20:07Come out fighting.
20:09Oh.
20:10All right.
20:11Seconds out.
20:17Good luck, Mr. Brown.
20:26Come on.
20:27Now, you're not ready now.
20:32Let's go.
20:32No, he's not.
20:33Yeah.
20:34He's not the end.
20:39This must be adding a fight, not a dance.
20:43I won't even laugh.
20:44Oh, come on.
20:45Get out.
20:46Oh
21:16You are getting you very worried. He's worried. He's gonna kill me. We're gonna lose our money. We got to do something
21:46Oh
21:49Hey, that's a good idea
21:56Hey, mr. Woodwork you box real good, you know
22:03You box before I once or twice I don't reckon you're mr. Brown stands much of a chance
22:16Oh
22:25Hey
22:27Oh
22:29Oh, good evening, everyone.
22:43Mr. Brown, I want to thank you for what you did last night.
22:46You were so brave.
22:47Oh, it was nothing, really.
22:49Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown.
22:50What is it?
22:51Oh, blimey, he's at it again.
22:53Who's at it again?
22:53That Ushbecker teacher, Mr. Jarvis.
22:56He's making advantages to Jamila.
22:59Advances?
23:00Yes, please.
23:01So I'm giving a kick in his backside.
23:03And now he's challenging me to a puncher.
23:06Oh, not again.
23:07I don't think you should go through with it, Ali.
23:08I mean, with all due respect, you're not as experienced as I am.
23:11That is what I am thinking.
23:13So I am telling this to Mr. Jarvis.
23:15Good.
23:16The fight is taking place tonight in the gymnasium.
23:20I'm sorry, I thought you said you weren't fighting him.
23:22Oh, no, not me.
23:23But I'm naming you as my substitute.
23:29I don't know if I am.
23:38I don't know if I am.
23:39I don't know if I am.
