00:51Ha-ha-ha. You are emigrating.

00:55Excuse me if I'm not to laugh.

00:57We are going to make everybody rich.

00:59Hey, I am like very much to be rich.

01:02This time next week, we could have half a million pounds.

01:07We're a bunko.

01:09We win on the football pools.

01:11You never win on them.

01:13Sure. We have a good system.

01:16All we've got to do is pick 11 matches.

01:18That gives us 220 lines.

01:20We're bound to get one line, right?

01:22All right. How much need we pick?

01:2420 peas each.

01:25Okay, I think.

01:27Now, pick a match you think is going to be a scoring draw.

01:30Okay.

01:34Derby V Queen's Park.

01:36Derby Queen's Park.

01:37Okey-cokey, next customer.

01:39Please, please.

01:40Okay, pick the match.

01:42Arsenal.

01:43Arsenal.

01:44No, no.

01:47Fulhamu.

01:49Will.

01:49Tokyo.

01:51Okey-cokey.

01:53Who's next?

01:55Here's my money.

01:55Okay, pick the match.

01:59Tottenpool V Port Valley.

02:03Okey-cokey.

02:04And the next one.

02:05Yes, please.

02:07My scoring match being Liverpool V.

02:11The City of Bristol's.

02:13Oh, thank you.

02:13You have to be the City of the Bristol's.

02:16Okay, who's the next?

02:17What's going on here?

02:19We are doing the football puddles.

02:21You want to join in, provisory?

02:22Only 20p.

02:23You could win a half a million.

02:25I could also lose 20p.

02:27What's the 20p?

02:29It may not mean much to you, but it does to me.

02:30I don't exactly earn a fortune teaching English.

02:32Why not?

02:33You ask for a lift-on.

02:36A lift-on?

02:38More money.

02:39You mean a rise.

02:41Arse.

02:43Forget the 20p's.

02:44We give you the free line.

02:45Now, just pick the match.

02:46Yeah, we're supposing we pick the match later, all right?

02:48Right now, we've got work to do.

02:50Now, come on, in your places.

02:51Ah, yes.

02:51Settle down.

02:52Right now, tonight we are going to concentrate on the art of conversation, all right?

02:57We'll start with you, Ali and Anna.

02:59Do you come out here, please?

03:01Now, you have never met before, and you are sitting on a park bench, Anna.

03:05When along comes Ali and sits next to you and starts a conversation, all right?

03:09Carry on.

03:11Good morning, lady.

03:16Come along, Anna.

03:16Say something.

03:17I never speak to strange men in the park.

03:19Very commendable, but let us assume that this time you do.

03:23Start again.

03:25Good morning, lady.

03:26Good morning.

03:28It is being a very nice day.

03:30Ja.

03:32Anna, this is supposed to be a conversation in English.

03:34Up to now, you've said, good morning and ja.

03:37Could you try and speak in English, please?

03:38Start again, Ali.

03:40Good morning, lady.

03:42Good morning.

03:43Oh, blimey.

03:46It is being a very nice day.

03:48Yes, it is nice weather.

03:51Yes, it was also very nice weather yesterday.

03:56Yes, perhaps it will also be nice weather tomorrow.

04:01Yes, or perhaps it could be raining.

04:06Yes, perhaps it could be raining.

04:08All right, that'll do.

04:09Thank you, both of you.

04:11Absolutely scintillating.

04:12Right, Juan.

04:14Si, senor.

04:15Would you come out, please?

04:17Right, now, you are sitting in a restaurant.

04:19Eh, Spanish restaurant.

04:21Yes, of course.

04:22When Suli enters.

04:24Eh, pardon, senor.

04:27What is a Chinese girl doing in a Spanish restaurant?

04:31Because she likes Spanish food.

04:33Ah, so right.

04:34Right, the restaurant is crowded, but there's an empty seat at Juan's table.

04:37All right?

04:38Juan, what are you doing?

04:41Eh, I was slinging on the table.

04:43Yep.

04:44Carry on.

04:47Excuse, please.

04:49This seat taken?

04:50No, you seat.

04:51You seat.

04:53Around me to introduce myself.

04:54Chung Su Li.

04:55My name is Carlos.

04:58Juan, what do you mean, Carlos?

05:00Eh, I never give my right name when I pick up my name.

05:04You're not supposed to be picking her up, just having a conversation.

05:11Uh, you want a drink?

05:15I don't drink.

05:16Bad for River.

05:17Uh, cigarette?

05:20I don't smoke.

05:21Bad for Rungs.

05:22I bet you're not married, eh?

05:28You are very loo.

05:32What's the matter with you?

05:34I just make a joke?

05:35What do you want to talk about?

05:37We could discuss whether dictatorship or plurality

05:39better than dictatorship or bourgeois capitalists.

05:41We can't do that.

05:44Why not?

05:45Because I don't understand what you're talking about.

05:50So, Li, does every conversation have to be a political rally?

05:54Chairman Mao, he's saying, we must climb use every opportunity

05:56to spread socialist doctrine amongst unrightened people.

05:59Yeah, well, I'd be grateful if you would keep Chairman Mao out of the classroom, all right?

06:02Thank you, both of you, all right?

06:03Now, um, Max and Danielle.

06:07Would you come out, please?

06:08Right, now, let us assume that you are at a party

06:10and you've just been introduced to Danielle.

06:12Now, use your imagination and, uh, make a conversation.

06:15Hello, beautiful.

06:28Hello, gorgeous.

06:31Hey, this party, not very good, eh?

06:33Why not we go, uh, somewhere else?

06:36D'accord.

06:37Let's go back to my place.

06:39Okay.

06:42This was a short conversation.

06:45Mr. Brown, there's an old geezer who wants to see you.

06:49He's sitting in the canteen.

06:51What does he want?

06:51I don't know, but he said he's very urgent.

06:53Oh, very well.

06:54While I'm away, you can do some exercises.

06:56Hey, I know plenty exercise.

06:59One, three, four, six, seven, nine, six, fifty-four.

07:03Oh, uh, not those sort of exercises.

07:05Exercises from your books, page 120.

07:08Sorry.

07:09Wrong number.

07:09Would you like another cup of tea, Mr, um, uh...

07:26English.

07:27No, thank you.

07:28Oh.

07:29Oh, you know, you do remind me of my husband.

07:32Really?

07:33Yeah, just before he died.

07:35Ah, Mr. Brownstone.

07:43Brown?

07:44Oh, Mr. Brown, yes.

07:45I'm English.

07:46Oh, congratulations.

07:49No, my name is English.

07:52Oh, sorry.

07:53Can we sit down?

07:54Well, I'm rather busy.

07:55I won't keep you a moment.

07:56After all, this is a rather confidential matter.

07:59Oh, what?

08:06My card.

08:07The English School of Languages, Principal H.C. English.

08:11That's right.

08:11Now then, I shall come straight to the point.

08:14Good.

08:14No use beating about the bush.

08:16No.

08:16After all, procrastination is a thief of time.

08:19Absolutely.

08:20Never put off till tomorrow what you could do today.

08:23Very true.

08:25Now then, where was I?

08:27Well, you were going to go straight to the point.

08:29Ah, yes, yes, of course.

08:30Thank you very much, Mr. Brownlow.

08:31Brown!

08:32Brown, yes.

08:32Well, now, you see, our teacher of English for foreign students

08:36has left us rather hurriedly, and I want you to take his place.

08:40Oh, you're offering me a job.

08:42Your name was given to me by one of your former students,

08:47Miss Svensson.

08:49Ah, yes, Ingrid.

08:50Ingrid.

08:52Yes, well, I'd like you to start.

08:53As quickly as you can.

08:55Well, I haven't said I'll take the job yet.

08:58The starting salary is $5,000 a year,

09:01rising to $7,500 by yearly increments.

09:04That's very generous.

09:05The labourer is worthy of his hire.

09:08What do you say?

09:09Well, I'd like to think it over, if I may.

09:11Very well.

09:12Don't keep me waiting too long.

09:14I need to know by tomorrow.

09:16Goodbye, Mr.

09:16Brown.

09:18Brown.

09:19I know.

09:20I know.

09:28Bad news, Mr. Brown.

09:29Oh, on the contrary.

09:30I've just been offered a job at $5,000 a year.

09:33That's nice.

09:34Hey, are you going to take it?

09:35Well, I said I'd think it over.

09:36I mean, after all, money isn't everything.

09:38Oh, that's true.

09:39There's such a thing as job satisfaction.

09:40Yeah.

09:41That's something money can't buy.

09:42No.

09:43So I've decided what to do.

09:46You're going to stay here?

09:47No, I'm taking the job.

09:56Leaving?

09:57Yeah, I'm sorry to spring it on you like this, Miss Courtney,

09:59but it's too good an opportunity to miss.

10:00I see.

10:02And when do you propose to take up this new position?

10:04Well, he wants me to start right away,

10:05so I thought I'd report to him first thing in the morning.

10:07That doesn't give me much time to find a replacement.

10:10Yeah, I know, but I can't afford to wait and risk losing the job.

10:13Very well, Mr. Brown.

10:14You have obviously made up your mind,

10:17and I wish you every success.

10:19I hope you'll be happy,

10:21but I think I can safely say

10:23you won't find another principal like me.

10:26I'm sure I won't.

10:26Right, time's up.

10:40Would you leave your books on my desk?

10:42But before you go,

10:43I've got something to tell you.

10:45I shan't be teaching you after tonight.

10:47Oh, Master Jesus.

10:49Oh, dearie me,

10:50have you got the bag?

10:51The bag?

10:54Yes, please.

10:56Has Mr. Colterney given you the bag?

10:59You mean the sack,

11:01Jelligold.

11:03So I shall be leaving for a better job.

11:05Ah, no, no.

11:06Oh, no.

11:07We are being very sad to be losing it.

11:10I shall miss you very much.

11:13We shall whole miss you.

11:14Eh, maybe you change your mind, eh?

11:17Oh, I must strike while the iron is hot.

11:19Holy ravioli.

11:22You're gonna get a job in a laundry.

11:25I was just choosing a figure of speech.

11:29I should be doing the same job,

11:30but at a commercial school

11:31for a lot more money.

11:35Well, come on.

11:35Thank you, everybody.

11:39Well, I hope you have that much luck.

11:42Thank you, Giovanni.

11:44Oh, my God.

11:48Amigo.

11:50Hasta la siguiente.

11:51Well, I'm...

11:52May your days be filled with happiness.

11:56Yes, too, honey.

11:59Auf Wiedersehen.

12:00Hannah.

12:03May Allah watch over you.

12:05You, too, Annie.

12:09Jelligold, rat com, let's now.

12:11Au revoir, Mr. Brown,

12:15et bonne chance.

12:24Shalom, Mosh.

12:33Goodbye, Mosh.

12:35Jimila.

12:42Marjo.

12:44Success.

12:45Terrible.

12:46Oh, oh.

12:48I don't know what you're saying.

13:10Good morning.

13:12Morning.

13:14What can I do for you?

13:15I'm Jeremy Brown, English teacher.

13:17You sent me a job yesterday.

13:19Oh, of course you are.

13:20Do forgive me.

13:21I'm terribly sorry.

13:22I've got such an awful memory for faces, Mr Brownlow.

13:25Brown?

13:26Brown, Brown.

13:27Please.

13:28Quite all right.

13:29But when shall I start?

13:31Start what?

13:32Teaching.

13:33I'm accepting the job.

13:35Oh.

13:36Have you left your other position, then?

13:38Yes, I gave him my notice last night.

13:40Dear, dear, dear, dear.

13:41I suppose unfortunate.

13:42Why?

13:43Well, you see, we don't need anybody now.

13:45The bad that left came back again.

13:46Good, isn't it?

13:49Well, not for me, it isn't.

13:51No.

13:52Oh, no, no.

13:53I suppose not.

13:54No, no.

13:55Why, dear.

13:56What will you do now, Mr Brownstop?

13:58Brown?

13:59Brown, Brown, Brown.

14:00There's only one thing I can do.

14:02What's that?

14:03It's the nearest unemployment exchange.

14:04And that's it.

14:05Hello, Mr Brown.

14:06What are you doing here?

14:07I thought you'd left.

14:08Well, so did I, but the job was already taken.

14:09Ah, what'd you do?

14:10Well, I went to the unemployment exchange and told them that I had 5A levels and was a BA Oxon.

14:14What'd they say?

14:15Offer me a job as a road sweeper.

14:17Here, have you ever worked on the market so I could get you a job, you know?

14:18No, doing what?

14:19Oh, no.

14:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

14:22Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

14:26How come on to C.

14:31Hello, Mr Brown.

14:32Hello, Mr Brown.

14:33What are you doing here?

14:38I thought you left.

14:39Well, so did I, but the job was already taken.

14:40Ah, what'd you do?

14:43Well, I went to the unemployment exchange and told them that I had 5A levels and was a BA Oxon.

14:50What'd they say?

14:51The rabbit and pork, the spill, the chatter.

14:53Oh, at all?

14:54Yeah.

14:54What would I have to rabbit about?

14:56Oh, well, hold that and I'll give you a rough idea.

14:59Now, you've got a stall in the market, you see,

15:00and you've got the people around you.

15:02You say, now, come here, I'll tell you what I'm prepared to do.

15:04I've got three little lots here,

15:05and the gold you get in the chain, worth £20.

15:07The gold price is worth £15.

15:09The gold earrings, don't they look nice?

15:11Don't they look nice?

15:12You're willing to do any jewelry shopping on Oxford Street

15:14that costs you £40?

15:16I'm not asking you £40, £30, or even £20.

15:19A tenner would be a bargain.

15:20One price, one price only.

15:21Speak up, speak up, job.

15:23Third come, third serve.

15:24A five of the lot.

15:25I'll take it.

15:28Now, I'm only demonstrating.

15:30Oh, sir.

15:31What do you say?

15:32No, I don't think it's quite me somehow.

15:34You'll have to go back on the dole, then, won't you?

15:35Well, I could ask Miss Courtney for my old job back.

15:37Do you think you'd give it here?

15:38Oh, I'm sure she will, if I crawl enough.

15:44Enter.

15:46Hello, Miss Courtney.

15:47Oh, Mr Brown, this is a surprise.

15:51Did you forget something when you left last night?

15:53No, no.

15:54Then to what do we owe the honor of this visit?

15:56Well, I, uh...

15:57You've done something to your hair.

16:00My hair?

16:01Yes, looks different somehow.

16:02Much more feminine.

16:03Oh, really?

16:06Yeah, if you don't mind me saying so,

16:08you really look quite attractive.

16:09Oh.

16:09All right, Mr Brown, what are you after?

16:14Well, I'm wise enough to know when I'm being softened up.

16:17Now, what is it you want?

16:19Oh, a reference?

16:20No doubt?

16:20Well, not exactly.

16:22Well, what is it, then?

16:23Well, I'll come straight to the point, Miss Courtney.

16:24Good.

16:24I thought about this new job last night,

16:26and I've suddenly realized that money isn't everything.

16:28Really?

16:29After all, you can't buy happiness.

16:31So you've decided not to take this job?

16:34You're very perceptive.

16:35I tried to telephone you earlier today

16:37to ask you to bring back the register.

16:39Mr English said that you weren't there

16:40because there hadn't been a vacancy after all.

16:43Ah.

16:44Yes.

16:45So now you've come crawling back to me,

16:47expecting to be reinstated.

16:48Yeah, well, I would be grateful.

16:49I mean, after all, it'd be much easier on the students.

16:51I mean, easier all round, really.

16:53Oh, I quite agree.

16:54Oh, good.

16:55Except for one thing.

16:57I have already engaged a new teacher.

17:00I'm wondering what a new teacher will be like.

17:06He won't be as nice as Mr Brown.

17:08Maybe we have a lady teacher.

17:11Hey, listen, everybody.

17:12The boss is back.

17:13Mr Brownell.

17:14That's right.

17:15Sid just told us.

17:16He didn't get the job.

17:17He can't be coming back here.

17:19It's too late.

17:21We got a new teacher.

17:22If new teacher leaves,

17:24Professor he can come back.

17:26How can new teacher leave?

17:28We fix it.

17:30We all act as stupid.

17:34New teacher thinks

17:36I not teach these people.

17:39I leave.

17:40That's a good idea, amigo.

17:43For your gifts, stupid answer.

17:45For you, that is easy.

17:48I'll sit down, everybody.

17:50Hurry up, sit down.

17:51This is your new teacher, Mr Wilkins.

17:54Mr Wilkins, these are your students.

17:55You'll soon get to know them.

18:05Any problem, I shall be in my office.

18:12Right.

18:13I do hope we're all going to get on together extremely well.

18:17Now, you.

18:18Can you tell me how far you're up to?

18:20Por favor.

18:21How far are you up to?

18:24Ah, si, si.

18:26Ah, I am, er, five feet eleven inches.

18:31No, no, no.

18:32Not how tall you are.

18:35Five feet eleven inches.

18:37Never mind.

18:38I'll soon find out what progress you've made so far.

18:41Now, you.

18:42What is the feminine of Drake?

18:45Miss Drake.

18:47Really?

18:49You.

18:50Spell cough.

18:52K-O-F-F.

18:55What is an apostrophe?

18:57According to the New Testament, there are twelve apostrophes.

19:02Peter, Andrew, James, the son of Zebedee,

19:04John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James,

19:06the son of Alphars, Thaddeus, Simon and Shudders.

19:08You, give me a sentence using the word defer.

19:15Minx are bred for defer.

19:22You, explain the meaning of the phrase

19:25to bury the hatchet.

19:27To chop someone's head off.

19:31You, complete the following proverb.

19:33People who live in glass houses

19:35should get undressed in the dark.

19:38Explain what is meant by a circular letter.

19:45More certainly.

19:46A circular letter

19:47is the letter O.

19:50You.

19:52What is an aspirate?

19:56It is on.

19:58Table, it's on.

19:59You take on.

20:00We know you have cold on.

20:04You.

20:05Could you please, please tell me

20:08what is the opposite of a coward?

20:10A bullard.

20:16Well, I am appalled

20:19at your lack of knowledge

20:20of the English language.

20:21In all my years as a teacher,

20:23I have never come across a class

20:24as ignorant as you are.

20:26Well, no wonder your former teacher left.

20:28It's enough to make any ordinary man leave.

20:30However, I am no ordinary man.

20:36I shall look upon this task

20:38as a personal challenge.

20:39I am going to teach you all English

20:45if it takes me a lifetime.

20:47Now.

20:54Hello, Mr. Brown.

20:56What are you doing here?

20:57I'm not quite sure.

20:57Miss Courtney telephoned me this morning

20:58and said she wanted to see me.

21:00You don't know what it's about, do you?

21:00I've got no idea.

21:01Why don't you go in and ask her?

21:05It's just good.

21:08Enter.

21:10You wanted to see me, Miss Courtney?

21:12Oh, yes, Mr. Brown.

21:14Are you still jobless?

21:16Yeah, I'm afraid so.

21:17I was offering another job this morning

21:18but I turned it down.

21:19Not enough money?

21:20No, the money was all right.

21:21On the face of it,

21:22it seemed quite attractive.

21:24Office, virtually my own boss.

21:25Just didn't like the idea

21:26of working below ground.

21:28On the underground?

21:30No, gentlemen's conveniences.

21:31I see.

21:35Well, would you like your old job back?

21:38Yeah, but I thought you'd already

21:40offered it to someone else.

21:41Well, I had, but he telephoned this morning

21:43to say that he had left.

21:45Oh, did he give any reason?

21:46None whatsoever.

21:48Well, Mr. Brown,

21:49I suggest you start immediately.

21:51Ah, right, Miss Courtney.

21:52On a temporary basis, of course.

21:59The boss is coming.

22:01Nice to see you, boss.

22:05Three hooray, hip-kips for the boss.

22:08Hooray, hey, hey.
