00:00Come in and sit down.
00:01Morning, sir. Morning, gentlemen. Morning. Morning.
00:03Thank you. Good morning.
00:04Sit down, too.
00:05Now, Rawlinson, we, the directors and I, have been considering the club's recent results.
00:11Yes, sir.
00:12Clayed 18, won nil, drawn nil, lost 19.
00:22This includes, of course, last night's match against Newport County when you surrendered before kick-off.
00:28Yes, sir.
00:29Now, the directors and myself, we don't want to start apportioning blame or anything.
00:34But we did feel that perhaps some new players.
00:36I signed three new players last week, sir.
00:38Ah, yes. So you did.
00:39Kevin Rawlinson, Gary Rawlinson, and Denny Hotchkiss.
00:44Fine lads, sir.
00:45Perhaps, but by some remarkable turn of fate, Rawlinson, all three are your cousins.
00:49That's a lie, sir.
00:50All right, so Denny Hotchkiss is your wife's cousin.
00:52He's a fine, promising youngster, sir.
00:54He's 47.
00:55Not until September, sir.
00:57And as for our so-called youth squad...
00:59Now, sir, sir, I won't have a word said against those lads.
01:02I look on those lads like...
01:04Well, well, like a father looks on his sons, sir.
01:06They are your sons, Rawlinson.
01:08Coincidentally, sir, yes.
01:11I suppose that's why we signed our new left winger.
01:13Sir, that left winger is there for reasons of skill, pace and experience.
01:17And because she's your mother?
01:19There is a family connection, sir, yes.
01:21She's your mother, Rawlinson.
01:22And she's 81.
01:25Well, she's young for her age, sir.
01:27But, you know, all this, Rawlinson, would pale into insignificance if it wasn't for the
01:31question of our goalkeeper.
01:34Well, he tries his best.
01:36Tries his best?
01:37Rawlinson, how do you think we directors feel sitting in our box come a Saturday, looking
01:41down at our goalkeeper, running around in excited little circles, yapping and barking and...
01:47...and pausing only to piddle against the gophers?
01:50Fluffy's been in the family for years.
01:53How's surprised you don't play, you blasted cat!
01:55It's got a groin strain!
01:57What exposure is it, then, is it?
01:59A sack?
02:00Another football league manager fired?
02:02Now, Rawlinson, listen to me.
02:04This club isn't like the others.
02:06We don't sack our managers just because you lose a few games.
02:09So we're going to give you one last chance.
02:11Win on Saturday, and your job is safe.
02:16Thank you, Uncle Norris.
