00:00Do-do-do-do-do
00:30I'll be kicking you out the cabin
00:52Come on, come on, what's going on here? What's all this about?
01:01They're having a religious discussion.
01:04Yes, well, let everyone sit down, please.
01:07I will not have this sort of behavior in the classroom.
01:10He's saying rudely things about Allah, and you are saying rudely things about my case.
01:14Yes, well, in future, kind of keep your differences to yourselves.
01:17Now, shake hands.
01:17Oh, no, I'm not shaking hands with an infidel.
01:21Ali, shake hands.
01:22But he's the one who started it, isn't he?
01:24I'm only giving him titty for titty.
01:26Well, I...
01:28Tit for tat.
01:30Yes, please.
01:32I don't care who started it, shake hands.
01:36Okay.
01:37Ranjeet?
01:38I cannot shake the hand to a barbarian.
01:41Well, either you shake hands or go home. It's entirely up to you.
01:47Go.
01:49Sit down.
01:49And pay attention, everybody.
01:52Please.
01:53Pay attention.
01:54Bocsánat.
01:55Uh...
01:56Please.
02:01Ah, attention.
02:03Ah, vigyázálás.
02:05Nagyon szĂvesen.
02:09No, Zoltán, it's not that sort of attention. It means to attend, to listen.
02:13Bocsánat.
02:14Sit down.
02:16Run.
02:16Hey.
02:17He no speak very good.
02:19No, I would like you all to help Zoltán to grasp a few rudiments of the English language.
02:24Excuse, please.
02:25Yes, Ingrid.
02:25What is rudiment?
02:29Can anybody tell Ingrid what I mean by teaching Zoltán some rudiments of English?
02:34Sure.
02:34You want us to tell him a few naughty jokes?
02:38No, Giovanni, just English conversation.
02:41We will learn him to speak English as good as what we do, sir.
02:47Well, second thoughts.
02:47Perhaps it's not such a good idea after all.
02:49Right, come on.
02:49Let's get cracking.
02:50Questions and answers tonight.
02:53Come on, remember, you're here to learn, not enjoy yourselves.
02:57Juan?
02:57Si, senor.
02:58What is a colloquialism?
03:00Ah, it's a long word.
03:03Yes, but what does it mean?
03:05Ah, it means, uh, her.
03:08I don't know what it means.
03:10It's another word for slang.
03:13Por favor.
03:13Slang.
03:14Ah, like a broken arm.
03:17Broken arm?
03:17Si, when you break a arm, you put it in a slang.
03:22That's a sling.
03:24Ah, sorry.
03:26Colloquialism is a term applied to words used in everyday English that are not literary.
03:31Understand?
03:32No.
03:34Well, I suggest you study chapter nine, vocabulary.
03:37Sorry.
03:39Tarot.
03:40Aso.
03:43Rephrase the following sentence.
03:45The lawn needs cutting badly.
03:47The lawn needs cutting badly.
03:51Goodly.
03:53No, Tarot.
03:54The lawn badly needs cutting.
03:57Ah, so.
03:58Anna.
03:59What is the future of the verb I sleep?
04:02I wake.
04:03No, Anna.
04:07The future of the verb I sleep is I am going to sleep.
04:11Ja, and after I sleep, I wake.
04:15Giovanni.
04:17Si.
04:17Give me a sentence using the word deliver.
04:20That's easy.
04:23Too much vino is so no good for deliver.
04:32Are you serious?
04:34Sure, I read it in the newspaper.
04:36Yeah, well, I suggest you study the chapter on spelling.
04:40Okey-cokey.
04:42Max.
04:43Decline the verb to write.
04:45I write, he write.
04:49Wrong.
04:51Okey.
04:52I write, he wrong.
04:57I write, he writes, she writes.
05:01Concentrate on your verbs.
05:03Okey.
05:04Ali.
05:05Yes, please.
05:06Spell chemist.
05:08Oh, blimey.
05:11K-E-N.
05:13Chemist does not begin with a K.
05:16It sounds like it begins with K.
05:19C-H.
05:20But that is making it chemist.
05:24No, the C-H is pronounced K.
05:27Ah, now I am understanding.
05:29C-H is K.
05:31Yes.
05:32Oh, blimey.
05:32Then last night, I am eating a sandwich with keys and cuttiny.
05:41It's not a hard and fast rule, Ali.
05:44We should study the chapter on consonants.
05:47Jolly good.
05:48Daniel.
05:50Give me another word for obnoxious.
05:54Swedish.
05:55Like a sweet food being.
05:57And a true telling.
05:58And you are.
06:00I'm Ranjit.
06:02If something that is black is blackish, what is something that is red?
06:07A book.
06:11Reddish.
06:12A thousand apologies.
06:14What you are right, they are red.
06:16What are?
06:17Radishes.
06:18Another thing very much.
06:20It's radishes.
06:22Another thousand apologies.
06:23Sue Lee.
06:25Sue Lee.
06:26What is a green belt?
06:28What you wear with your green glass.
06:32A green belt.
06:33A green belt.
06:35It's an area of land on which you are not allowed to build.
06:41Jamila.
06:42What is the past tense of I ride?
06:45Excuse Master G.
06:48I know here question.
06:49What is the past tense of I ride?
06:53I like better when I know here question.
06:56Come along to Mella.
06:58I ride.
07:00I ride it.
07:02Road.
07:03Ah.
07:04I ride it on road.
07:07The past tense of I ride is I rode.
07:11Ingrid.
07:12What is the meaning of the word illiterate?
07:14Someone who's knowing a language not.
07:18At last.
07:19Someone has answered a question correctly.
07:22Well done, Ingrid.
07:23The question was easy.
07:25Easy as yours was.
07:26Listen how she speaks the English all backwards to front.
07:30Yes!
07:31No, wait two girls.
07:32Come on.
07:33Ingrid deserves to be complimented.
07:34She's the only one to answer a question correctly.
07:37Hey.
07:38You not have certain anything yet.
07:42I hardly think you'll understand the question.
07:44Then I'll only be able to give an answer.
07:45Please.
07:47What is this?
07:48A curve.
07:49Book.
07:50Ah.
07:51Book.
07:51Good.
07:53What is that?
07:54Window.
07:55Window.
07:56Door.
07:57Door.
07:58Very good.
07:59Now.
08:00What is this?
08:01Window.
08:04Book.
08:05Eh?
08:06What is that?
08:07Door.
08:08Window.
08:11Door.
08:12Good.
08:14Grampet.
08:21If this is an example of your teaching methods, Mr. Brown, I am not amused.
08:26Oh, it's probably something he's picked up from Giovanni.
08:29Yeah.
08:30Well, I came in to ask you about the coach trip.
08:33What coach trip?
08:33Don't you ever read the notice boards?
08:35Oh, er, yes.
08:37Well, occasionally.
08:38Now, listen, everybody.
08:40For the past two weeks, there has been a notice on the board to the effect that Mrs. Hunter,
08:44our history teacher,
08:45is organising her annual coach trip to a stately home for Sunday.
08:49We are going to Barclay Hall, the ancestral home of Humphrey, Earl of Barclay, which is
08:55renowned for its remarkable collection of tapestries and ancient manuscripts.
08:59Now, who would like to go?
09:01Oh, please.
09:03Don't you want to go?
09:04Butch are not.
09:06I'm afraid he doesn't understand much English.
09:08Well, put his name down.
09:08It'll do him good.
09:10The tickets are ÂŁ1.50 each.
09:12You can collect the money, and I shall expect you to come along, of course.
09:15Er, are you going?
09:17Naturally.
09:17Yeah, well, I had planned to do something on Sunday.
09:19Cancel it.
09:20Yeah, well, I don't think I can.
09:21I shall expect you to be here on Sunday at 12 o'clock sharp.
09:27Good morning, everyone.
09:28Good morning, everyone.
09:29Are the others on the coach?
09:30They all well arrived.
09:31Not yet.
09:32Morning, everybody.
09:33Good morning, everybody.
09:36What is all this?
09:37It's beer.
09:38We are not driving, so we can be drinking.
09:41Hey, shouldn't we have it the first one now?
09:42No, we won't have it the first one now.
09:44Look, please, get on the coach, everybody.
09:46We can't.
09:47Why not?
09:47They've only sent one, coach.
09:49Miss Court is in there now sorting out.
09:50Yeah.
09:54What did the man say, Miss Courtney?
09:56The man said you only ordered one coach.
09:58That's not true.
10:00I definitely ordered two coaches.
10:02Typical male inefficiency.
10:05No problem.
10:06Yes, where are coach missing?
10:08Can't they send one round?
10:09They haven't got another one.
10:11They're fully booked.
10:12What are we going to do?
10:14Oh, I can get you a coach.
10:16Could you, Sid?
10:17Yeah, my brother-in-law, he's in the coach business.
10:19He lets it out for outings, an old age pensioner.
10:22I'll drive for him in my spare time.
10:24Would you like to go and ring him, Sidney?
10:26Oh, don't worry, I'll pop round the corner.
10:28It's not very far.
10:29I'll be back in ten minutes with a cockroach.
10:30What?
10:31With a coach.
10:31I expect they're anxious to get started.
10:47Look, why don't you get going and we'll follow on as soon as Sid arrives.
10:50What a good idea now, Mrs. Hunter.
10:52Will you get on the bus?
10:53Allow me.
10:54Oh, thank you.
10:57All right.
10:58Miss Courtney?
10:58No, I'm not going.
11:00Ah, you've changed your mind?
11:01No, I am going on your coach with you.
11:14Stop it, please, stop it.
11:17Oh, blimey.
11:19I'm taking real using the bus.
11:21Oh, no, no, no.
11:21Ours hasn't arrived yet.
11:23We are being okay.
11:25All right.
11:26Hey, you've got some beer as well.
11:31Ah, why don't we have a drink now?
11:33It's a good idea.
11:35It is not a good idea at all.
11:38This is supposed to be an educational trip, not a tipless tour.
11:42Here we are.
11:58Is this the best you can do, Sid?
12:00Don't worry.
12:00She's very comfortable.
12:02Just like riding on a cushion of air.
12:04And don't forget, there's plenty more where this came from.
12:28Hey, when we get on coach, you and me, we sit together, okay?
12:34Hey, I'm going to sit next to Daniel.
12:36You've got to sit next to Ingrid.
12:37Ah, no, no, no, no.
12:39Ingrid sits beside me.
12:40Hey, I would very much like to sit with Ingrid.
12:43Hey, I would very much like to sit with Ingrid.
12:47What are you arguing about now?
12:49It's about where we sit on the coach, professori.
12:52But Daniel is desperate to sit next to me.
12:56Is that right, Daniel?
12:57No.
12:57You see?
12:59She wants to sit next to me.
13:00Yes?
13:01No.
13:02I want to sit next to Monsieur Brown.
13:04I'd like Mr. Brown to sit with.
13:07You not sit next to Monsieur Brown.
13:08You see this?
13:09Hey, hey, hey, hey!
13:10All right, everybody sit down in your places, please.
13:14You can go and sit next to me.
13:16Right, as we've some time to wait for the puncture,
13:19and in order to avoid any further arguments, we will draw lots.
13:23Lots of what?
13:23Drawing lots will decide who will sit next to who.
13:30All right?
13:31So I want you to write your names on these pieces of paper I'm giving you,
13:34and then we'll put them in a waste paper basket
13:36and draw them out one at a time.
13:39Like a whole bingo.
13:42Similar to bingo, yeah.
13:44Don't forget to write your name.
13:47No, I won't, Daniel.
13:49Right, everybody finished?
13:50Right, now fold them up and put them in here.
13:53And this time, when I draw them out, that will be final.
13:57I don't want any more arguments.
13:58Is that understood?
13:59Yeah, I'm not sure.
14:01Good.
14:01Right.
14:03Everybody ready, then?
14:04Ingrid, will you give them a shake for me, please?
14:08Yeah.
14:08I shake it for you.
14:10Excellent.
14:11Good.
14:11Right.
14:13High is down.
14:17Ali.
14:18Oh, dearie me.
14:19Who is going to be the lucky one to be getting me?
14:22Ranjeet.
14:24Ranjeet.
14:27Can you please be starving again?
14:30No, it's a perfectly fair system.
14:32In any case, it's time you two learned to coexist.
14:35Oh.
14:36Max.
14:37If the next name is Giovanni, I'm not going.
14:41And on second thoughts, I'd rather have Giovanni.
14:45You are very rude.
14:53I'm only joking.
14:56When we get on coach, you and me will sit at the back, okay?
14:59We sit at the front, and no funny business.
15:02Daniel.
15:08Please, let it be me.
15:12Zoltan.
15:13Santa Maria.
15:15Yes?
15:16You will sit next to Daniel on the coach.
15:21Ah, thank you.
15:22It's all right.
15:22Tarot.
15:31Awesome.
15:34Jamila.
15:35Happy to sit next to you.
15:38I am also most happy to be sitting next to you.
15:42Ingrid.
15:43Ah, the sword please me.
15:47Juan.
15:47Giovanni.
15:52Ah, it's got to be Sully or you, professore.
15:57Sully.
15:58But who are you to be sitting next to, professore?
16:01Come on, everybody.
16:14I can open the clue.
16:16Yes, on the back.
16:17I'll keep walking.
16:20Come on, Mr. Brown.
16:21Right, you know where we're going, Sid?
16:23No idea.
16:25Then how does he think he is going to get us there?
16:28Oh, don't worry, Miss Courtney.
16:29I've got a map and a pretty good sense of direction.
16:31We'll be there in time.
16:41I am thinking we are lost.
16:43We are not lost.
16:44Now, where are we, Sid?
16:46I don't know.
16:46You had the map.
16:47You were doing the navigating.
16:49Well, I couldn't read it in that old bone shaker of yours.
16:51It kept jiggling up and down.
16:52Then you should have jiggled up and down with it.
16:54We are not.
16:55We are definitely lost.
16:56I'm not lost.
16:57We're just not where we should be.
16:58Well, perhaps you could show us where we should be.
17:01Well, I know where we should be.
17:02I just don't know where we are.
17:03You are.
17:05Look, we passed a sign just down the road.
17:07Now, did anybody see what it said?
17:09Yes, please.
17:09Right.
17:10Well, I'll look it up on the map, and then we will know where we are.
17:12I really don't think that will be much help, Mr. Brown.
17:14With all due respect, Miss Courtney, I happen to possess a Pathfinder's badge from the Boy
17:18Scout, so I know quite a bit about the map.
17:21Once I know what the sign said, it's a simple matter to find out our exact location.
17:24Now, what did the sign say?
17:26Cartel Crossing.
17:27Do you think you can find that on the map, Mr. Brown?
17:33I'm telling you, we are lost.
17:35If you don't shut up, you'll be lost, because when we move off, we'll abandon you.
17:39Well, I suggest we carry on until we get to a main road that's bound to be a signpost.
17:43Good idea.
17:44Right, start her up, Sid.
17:45All right.
17:45Right, come on, everyone.
17:46Finish your drink, please.
17:49We're leaving now.
17:53Now, what's the matter?
17:55Well, it sounds to me as if the engine won't start.
17:58That is patently obvious.
18:00The engine won't start.
18:03Why won't it start?
18:05Well, hang on a minute, we'll find out.
18:07Boys, give us a hand with that bonnet, will you?
18:08Oh, let's see.
18:09Give us a hand with that bonnet.
18:10Oh, and, uh, Mr. Brown, switch the indications on when I tell you.
18:15All right.
18:18Switch on!
18:25It's funny.
18:27Sid, your petrol gauge reads empty.
18:30Yeah, well, it's broken.
18:30It always reads empty.
18:33How do you know when it is empty?
18:35I've got a dipstick here, Sid.
18:37Stand back a minute, will you?
18:39Stand back, Miss Courtney.
18:41You see, this is a petrol here.
18:42You put the dipstick in as far as it'll go.
18:45That tells you whether it's full up or whether it's empty.
18:49Yeah?
18:50It's empty.
18:52You marvellous.
18:54We don't know where we are,
18:55and even if we did, we wouldn't be able to get anywhere.
18:57Oh, never mind.
18:57I'll go and find a garage.
19:01Hey, why don't we all have another...
19:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
19:07Well, I suppose there's no telling how long Sid will be.
19:09Here, Mr. Brown.
19:10Come on, have we got any beer?
19:11Miss Courtney.
19:11No, thank you.
19:12And I don't think any of you should have a drink either.
19:15Oh, come on, Miss C.
19:16One little drink won't harm anyone.
19:18They have already consumed two of those large cans.
19:23What goes in must eventually come out.
19:26And it could lead to a lot of embarrassment.
19:30Squeeze me, please.
19:32I'm already wanting to be embarrassing.
19:35Well, you will have to wait.
19:37Oh, blimey.
19:40I shall wait on the coach.
19:42Right, well, come on, gather round, everyone.
19:45While we're waiting for seed, we might as well have a lesson.
19:47Ah, no lesson.
19:49Mr. Brown, we're not in the class.
19:52It no good to work on Sundays.
19:56Six days shall thou be in labor.
19:59No, shall not.
20:00In China, people work every day.
20:02With this pacto, we are not in China.
20:06All right, all right.
20:08We will play a game.
20:09Yeah.
20:09Hey, I know a good game.
20:11A kick or a kiss.
20:13Never heard of it.
20:15The boys chase the girls.
20:17And when they catch one, they say,
20:18what do you want, a kick or a kiss?
20:21That's a good game.
20:22From you, I prefer a kick.
20:25We will play I Spy.
20:27Now, that is a game that will help you all with your vocabulary.
20:30Now, you give the first letter of something you can see,
20:32and everybody else has to try and guess what it is.
20:33I'll start it off so you'll see how it's played.
20:36I spy with my little I,
20:39something beginning with G.
20:42G, G.
20:43Huh?
20:44Gigi.
20:48Giovanni.
20:49No, I'll give you a clue.
20:51I'm sitting on it.
20:54Bottom.
20:56No, Max.
20:58Gate.
20:59Oh, yes.
21:00Gate.
21:01Hockey.
21:02Right, who's going to go next?
21:03Yes, please.
21:03Ranjeet.
21:05I am spying with my little I,
21:08something beginning with N.
21:10N, everyone.
21:12Nose.
