00:21POP POP POP POP
00:51Ah, good evening, everyone.
00:54Not all here yet, then, I see.
00:56Oh, well, not to worry.
00:58Ah, good evening, Giovanni.
01:00Oh, it's not good anything.
01:01Why, what's the matter?
01:02I've got a terrible overhang.
01:05The word is hangover.
01:06Well, whatever it is, I've got it.
01:08I drank too much vino at lunchtime.
01:10Oh, it's fatal to drink at midday.
01:12Oh, good evening, Max.
01:14Oh, please, don't speak too loud.
01:16I am thinking you have been also looking on the wine too much.
01:21That's the trouble.
01:22He's not looking, he's drinking like me.
01:25Why did you drink so much?
01:26It was the feast of my patron saint, Saint Maximilio.
01:30So we had a drink.
01:32Then we drink to my patron, Saint Giovanni.
01:34Then we have a drink for my patriarch.
01:36Then one for the Pope.
01:37Archimedes.
01:38Leonardo da Vinci.
01:39Melina Mercuri.
01:40Sophia Loren.
01:40And after that, I remember nothing.
01:45Me neither.
01:46No, we will go and sit down gently.
01:52Excuse me, please.
01:59Ah, that way.
02:01Ali, what are you doing?
02:02I'm checking with my compass.
02:04They were checking what?
02:05I'm wanting to find out where is Mecca.
02:08Hey, I know where Mecca is.
02:10It's a big dance place in Hammersfield.
02:13Ah, you spaghetti head.
02:15You are not understanding.
02:17I'm explaining to you.
02:18Tomorrow, I'm having the honor of leading the prayer in our holy mosque.
02:23So tonight, I'm going to have a practice after the class.
02:27Ah, waste of time.
02:29The Sikh religion is the true fight?
02:31That's not true.
02:33Catholic religion is a true fight.
02:39What about Greek Orthodox?
02:40What about Martin Luther?
02:42Chintour.
02:43Put up.
02:44The religion is not true.
02:45Only state is true.
02:46That's not true.
02:47That's not true.
02:47That's not true.
02:48That's not true.
02:48That's not true.
02:48That's not true.
02:49That's not true.
02:50That's not true.
02:50That's not true.
02:51Sit down.
02:52Actually, you're all wrong.
02:54According to the Bible, the original true faith was the Jewish one.
02:57I don't believe it.
02:58It's true.
02:59It's holy writ.
03:00Who writ it?
03:03Holy writ is the Bible.
03:05Yeah, you can't believe everything you read in the Bible.
03:08No, why not?
03:09Well, some of it's, how you say, fairy's tales.
03:12You take it at Adam and Eve.
03:14Now, you're not going to tell me it was only an apple he was after.
03:18Yeah, I know what he was after.
03:22I'm sure you do, but we won't pursue that.
03:26You're here to improve your English, not disprove the Bible.
03:29Danielle is late this evening.
03:31However, we'll carry on without her.
03:32As you know, in a few weeks' time, you will all be taking your lower Cambridge.
03:36So tonight, I thought I'd give you an oral examination.
03:38You are wanting to look at our tooth?
03:41No, I mean that I'm going to go around the class and ask you all to give me some answers
03:45and hope that I get some correct ones.
03:47We are having a quiz.
03:48Yes, sort of.
03:50Like Mr. Mind.
03:53Mastermind.
03:53Yes, please.
03:55Actually, that's not a bad idea, Ali.
03:56Let's make it competitive.
03:58We'll have a knockout competition.
04:00You mean like at the big punch-up?
04:01No, no, no.
04:02Only verbally.
04:03I'll go around the class and whoever fails to answer a question correctly drops out, all right?
04:07Now, where shall we start?
04:09Yes, Jamila.
04:10I'll give you an easy one to start with.
04:12What is the plural of goose?
04:15Goose?
04:16Yes.
04:16One goose, two...
04:18Gooses?
04:19She's knockered out.
04:22The plural of goose is geese.
04:24Oh, ha.
04:25Geese.
04:26We won't count that.
04:27Let's have another one.
04:29Let me see.
04:30What is the opposite of good?
04:33Not good.
04:35Well, I would have referred to it if it said bad, but we'll accept that, all right.
04:39Uh, Giovanni, what is an epistle?
04:43That's easy.
04:44An epistle is the wife of an apostle.
04:51That's you, huh?
04:52I'm wrong.
04:53Yes, an epistle is a letter.
04:56Max, give me another word for forward.
04:59MacDonald.
05:00MacDonald?
05:01Yeah, he plays forward for Arsenal.
05:04I don't mean that kind of forward.
05:06In other words, for moving forward.
05:08Ah.
05:09Advance?
05:10Advance, yes, good.
05:11Well done.
05:12Anna, another word for debunk.
05:16De-bed.
05:19No, Anna, it means to ridicule.
05:21Ali, correct the following sentence.
05:24Last night, I am going to the cinema.
05:27Last night, I am not going to the cinema.
05:31Wrong.
05:31It is not wrong.
05:33Because last night, I am not going anywhere at all.
05:36You should have said last night, I went to the cinema.
05:39But I'm telling you, I didn't went.
05:42It doesn't matter whether you did or didn't.
05:44You're out.
05:44All right?
05:46Ah.
05:46I'm sorry I'm so late, Mr. Bond.
05:48That's all right, Danielle.
05:49Were you held up by the traffic?
05:50No, I was held up by a man.
05:52Talvin?
05:53You mean a mugger?
05:54I do not know his name.
05:57But he works as a woodwork teacher here in the school.
06:00One of the teachers here tried to rob you?
06:02No, not rob me.
06:04Oh, well, surely not, er...
06:05He was trying to chatter me up.
06:07Oh, I see.
06:08He wanted to take me out.
06:10You want, I give him a bunch of favours.
06:13He's bigger than you, Max.
06:16Everybody's bigger than Max.
06:18Hey!
06:19Watch what you're saying, huh?
06:20Ah, listen, Nana Mascuri, you don't cry.
06:23Okay, come outside.
06:25All right, settle down, you two.
06:26Come on.
06:27Don't worry about it, Danielle.
06:28I'm sure that this woodwork teacher, whatever his name is,
06:30was only trying to be friendly.
06:32But he was trying to be more than friendly.
06:34He would not let me go past until I agreed to have dinner with him.
06:38He does seem to have been rather persistent.
06:40Then, Eureka, I have, how you say, a brainwash.
06:44When?
06:45Yes.
06:46I tell him I cannot go out with him because I am engaged to be married.
06:51Oh, very good.
06:52Quick thinking.
06:53If there's any one problem...
06:54What was that?
06:55I tell him I'm engaged to be married to you.
06:58Me?
07:00Yes.
07:00It was a good idea, yes?
07:02It was a good idea, no.
07:03Did anybody overhear you?
07:05Only Gladys.
07:06Oh, great.
07:06That's worse than putting it on news at ten.
07:08It'll be away at school by now.
07:09You say that Mr. Brown is engaged to his French student?
07:13That's right.
07:14I heard her tell Mr. Jarvis in the tea room.
07:17Well, this is absolutely disgraceful.
07:19I think he might have had the decency to tell me first.
07:23Tell you?
07:24Yes.
07:25It's most inconsiderate.
07:27Oh, dear.
07:29I'm sorry.
07:30I didn't know.
07:31Didn't know what?
07:33Oh, nothing.
07:34Nothing.
07:35I must be getting back.
07:41Oh, Gladys, did you say anything to Miss Courtney about Danielle and me?
07:44Oh, only in passing.
07:46Oh, great.
07:46I'll go and check it.
07:47I didn't mean any harm.
07:48I'd no idea she felt that way.
07:50What way?
07:51About you.
07:52Yes, what are you talking about, me?
07:54Oh, unrequited love.
07:56Pardon?
07:57You and her ladyship.
07:59She fancies you.
08:00Oh, don't be ridiculous.
08:01Yeah, oh, it's true.
08:03No, she was very upset when she heard about you and Danielle.
08:06Look, Gladys, I don't know where you got this ridiculous story from, but you are completely mistaken.
08:10Oh, no, I'm not.
08:11I heard her.
08:12But, you mean, she told you that she fancied me?
08:15Well, not in so many words, but I knew.
08:18It was written all over her face.
08:19I can't believe it.
08:20Yes, oh, it's not unusual, though.
08:24Oh, lots of older women fall for younger men.
08:27My sister ran off with a 30-year-old milkman.
08:30Really?
08:31How old was your sister?
08:3265.
08:3265.
08:34But Miss Courtney's always given me the impression that she didn't like me.
08:37Oh, well, women are very funny, and she's at a funny age.
08:42Yeah, who can say that again?
08:44Well, the best of luck.
08:47Come to think of it, you're not far off it yourself.
08:52Enter?
08:53Miss Courtney.
08:55Well, well, if it isn't the college Casanova.
08:58Yes, well, I've come to explain about that.
09:01Are you sure you can spare the time?
09:03It's a complete misunderstanding.
09:04You see, I'm not really engaged to Danielle.
09:05She only said that to stop one of the teachers from pestering her.
09:08Really?
09:09Oh, it's perfectly true.
09:10The chap who takes the woodwork class was trying to chat her up.
09:13Mr. Jarvis?
09:14Is that his name?
09:15Well, I've never met him.
09:16Anyway, she concocted the whole thing just to get out of an embarrassing situation.
09:19I see.
09:20I'm terribly sorry, especially in view of, um, well...
09:24In view of what?
09:25Yeah, well, I hardly like to mention it.
09:27Well, you have mentioned it, so you may as well continue.
09:29Well, let me say right away that it's a perfectly natural thing to happen.
09:32What is?
09:33Well, for one person to be attracted to another, despite a difference in their ages.
09:37To what two persons are you referring?
09:39Well, you and I.
09:43You and I?
09:45Yes.
09:46Oh, Mr. Brown, I've no idea you felt like that about me.
09:52Pardon?
09:53Well, as you said yourself, it's perfectly natural.
09:56Oh, you poor dear boy.
09:58Oh, no, Miss Courtney, you don't understand.
09:59Oh, but I do.
10:01Men have always found me rather fascinating.
10:04Yeah, I'm sure they have.
10:05Look, let me explain.
10:05Now, there's no need to apologise for the way you feel.
10:09Yes, but I'm...
10:09Of course, it's out of the question.
10:11But, Miss Courtney, please.
10:12Now, don't start grovelling.
10:15Go get over it.
10:17Yes, I suppose I will.
10:18And now, I suggest you go and squash this foolish rumour about you and your French fiancée.
10:24Right, I'll do that.
10:26And, Mr. Brown?
10:27Yes, Miss Courtney?
10:29Don't worry about this other little affair.
10:31I shan't tell a soul.
10:33Your secret is safe with me.
10:35You're very kind.
10:39Poor fellow.
10:40Oh, come on, Danielle.
10:42It's a kiss.
10:42Come on, Lord.
10:43Mr. Brown!
10:44Danielle, why aren't you in the classroom?
10:46I am trying to explain to Mr. Jarvis what I said between us is not true.
10:50Sure.
10:51It's every man for himself, is it, Brown?
10:53Look, I'd appreciate it, Mr. Jarvis, if you stopped pestering my students, if you don't mind.
10:57I'm a bit sensitive, aren't we?
10:58To the green eye, is it?
11:00Certainly not.
11:01Well, then, as they say in this lovely lady's land, ferme la bouche.
11:05Shut your gob!
11:06Don't you speak to Mr. Brown like this.
11:08He would be angry with you.
11:09Oh, really?
11:10He is not frightened of you.
11:11Oh, aren't you?
11:12Well, I'm...
11:13No, he's not.
11:14And if you're not careful, he will hit you.
11:16Danielle, you couldn't hit a fly.
11:18Look, Jarvis, I'm not a slater.
11:19And he is ready whenever you are.
11:21Right.
11:22Tonight, after class, in the yard.
11:25We'll have a bunch of...
11:26No, but...
11:43Hey, I'm Mr. Brown.
11:45Oh, thanks, Sid.
11:46Er, fancy a drop of tiddly?
11:48Hmm?
11:49A tiddly wink.
11:49Tiddly wink?
11:50A drink.
11:51Oh, a drink.
11:51Drop of Jack the Dandy.
11:52Jack the Dandy?
11:53Drop of brandy.
11:54Oh, brandy.
11:55Get this joke up with a big fight.
11:57No, thanks.
11:57Please, yourself.
12:00I suppose it's all over the school?
12:02Ah, the news has got around.
12:04Yeah.
12:05Here, listen, I can give you a few tips, you know.
12:07Tips?
12:07Yeah, I used to read them right.
12:09Oh, er, fight.
12:10You've got it, you've got it.
12:11Listen, I'll tell you what you do.
12:12You put your hands up like that.
12:14You stand there and you start weaving.
12:17All of a sudden, you do the anti-shuffle.
12:19Yes, sir.
12:19And you're back to it!
12:20Oh, I'm sorry.
12:22Actually, I feel rather nervous.
12:23Oh, it's the aniladine, isn't it?
12:25Aniladine?
12:26Yeah.
12:26Adrenaline?
12:27Oh, well, you should know.
12:29Well, you should be all right once you've hit him a couple of times.
12:32Yeah, it's him hitting me that's worrying me.
12:34Perhaps if I had a quiet word with him, he might forget the whole thing.
12:37Listen, you can't back out of it now.
12:38There's a principle involved.
12:39Yeah, well, let our fight, Mr Jarvis.
12:41They're more evenly matched.
12:42Yeah, but listen, it's a point of honour.
12:45You mustn't let Mr Jarvis know you're frightened of him.
12:47I think he knows already.
12:48Oh, well.
12:49I'll see you later.
12:50Don't forget the old one, too.
12:51Right, thanks.
12:52Hi, I think.
12:53All right?
12:53Professor.
12:54Hello, Giovanni.
13:23This fight.
13:25Right, Suli, give me the comparative and the superlative of the following adjective, all right?
13:31Rude.
13:32Lude, lude, lude.
13:34Right, right.
13:37Ranjit, complete the following proverb.
13:39A bird in the hand makes mess on your wrist.
13:48A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
13:51You're out.
13:52Thanks, Danielle.
13:53Explain the meaning of the word illiterate.
13:57That is someone whose parents are not married.
14:01Oh, Danielle, that's illegitimate.
14:03Sorry.
14:05Juan.
14:05Si, senor.
14:06Give me the opposite of the following words.
14:08Ready?
14:09Not ready.
14:09Yeah, I haven't stopped.
14:12Juan.
14:13I lost.
14:15That's enough.
14:16That's not enough.
14:18Stop.
14:18Go.
14:19Sit down.
14:20Stand up.
14:21Oh, somebody stop him, please.
14:23Silencio.
14:24Hey, I do good, eh?
14:25Yes, good.
14:27Yo soy un talento.
14:29A tarot.
14:31Awesome.
14:31Give me the following tenses of the verb to move.
14:35Past perfect, the present perfect, the past continuous.
14:42Well, say something, tarot.
14:44I'm out.
14:48Right, see what have you got left in.
14:50Yeah, well, let's see how many of you can survive another round.
14:53Dr. Miller, can you count up to ten?
14:55Ji.
14:57Count up to ten.
14:59One, two, three.
15:00Ech, do, tink, char, paat, chai, sa, ta, paat, no, ka.
15:03No, in English.
15:07One.
15:07Yep.
15:08Two.
15:10Four.
15:11Three.
15:13Six.
15:14Four.
15:15Sorry, gentlemen.
15:17Max, give me another word and explain to me what is the meaning of syntax.
15:23Is it a tax you pay when you go to the church?
15:28No, it means sentence construction.
15:31Julie, spell democracy.
15:34C-H-I-N-A.
15:38I suppose if I'd asked you to spell dictatorship, you'd have spelt out England.
15:41Or Mellica.
15:44Well, Juan, that leaves only you.
15:46If you can answer the next question correctly, you will be the brain of the class, which doesn't
15:50say an awful lot for the rest of you.
15:53Por favor.
15:53Never mind.
15:55Here is your question.
15:57What is another name for a valley between two mountains?
16:01Valley between two mountains.
16:02Si, yes.
16:05Eh...
16:06Pass.
16:07Right.
16:16Hola, how are you?
16:21I win.
16:23I am the big talent.
16:25The big bride.
16:26Yeah, it goes with your big head.
16:28Come on, Mr. Brown.
16:29No, no, no, no.
16:29Stop.
16:30Please.
16:30Sit down.
16:32Squeeze me, please, Mr. Brown.
16:33Yes, Ali.
16:34It is home-going time.
16:35Yeah, well, not quite.
16:36But you are wanting to get ready for your big fight tonight with the Utpecker teacher.
16:41We are wanting to be there in time to see you not the stiffing out of him.
16:46There's not going to be any fight.
16:49You not mean that?
16:50I do.
16:51Santa Maria, what about all the money we bet?
16:56Money?
16:56You mean you're betting on the result?
16:58Sure.
16:59We all put in one pound each.
17:01What, ten pounds on me to win?
17:03Now we back the other thing.
17:06Thanks a lot.
17:07No, I'm only joking.
17:08Sure, we back you to win.
17:10You ready, then?
17:12Ready?
17:13Yeah.
17:14To the fight.
17:15Ah, yes, the fight.
17:16Look, could I have a word with you, Mr. Jarvis, outside?
17:21Well?
17:22Look, we're both reasonable men.
17:24I'm not.
17:26Look, I'm sure we can settle this amicably.
17:29Yeah, I'm sure we can.
17:30Oh, God.
17:30After I've knocked you a block off.
17:32Ah, but just the two persons I wanted to see.
17:35What's all this I hear about a fight?
17:37It's just a private matter between Mr. Brown and myself.
17:40Nonsense.
17:41It's common knowledge throughout the whole school.
17:44Now step into my office, shut the door behind you, and take heed, for I shall not tell you again.
17:49I will not have members of my staff brawling in public.
17:53I absolutely forbid it.
17:54You do?
17:55Most definitely.
17:56Oh, good.
17:57I mean, what a pity.
17:58I was quite looking forward to it.
17:59That's not the impression I got.
18:01You mean to tell me that you were actually looking forward to this fight?
18:04Oh, yes.
18:05Besides, there was a point of honour at stake.
18:07What point of honour?
18:08Well, this person insulted Miss Danielle Favre.
18:10He forced his attentions on her.
18:12I see.
18:15Male chauvinism, eh, Mr. Jarvis?
18:17Well, why not?
18:18Women like to be dominating.
18:20Nonsense.
18:21Oh, come now, Miss Courtney.
18:23Man is by nature the hunting.
18:25Oh, well, this puts an entirely different complexion on the matter.
18:28It does?
18:29Yes.
18:31Much as I abhor fighting, I feel that under the circumstances, perhaps your motives were justified.
18:38Well, we can have our little punch-up in the yard.
18:41Certainly not.
18:43Oh, thank goodness.
18:44You will settle your differences in a much more civilised and sporting manner.
18:48Oh, I quite agree.
18:49How about a game of chess?
18:52The school has a perfectly good gymnasium.
18:56If you must knock each other about, I suggest you do it there tomorrow night after class.
19:07Where is Mr. Brown?
19:09He's just putting his gloves off.
19:11Oh, here he comes there.
19:21Sit down, please.
19:23Oh, thank you.
19:23I have something for you.
19:25What's that?
19:25If you put this in his glove, you'd be playing these girls.
19:28Yeah, and probably my wrist, too.
19:30No, thank you.
19:30You're excused, please.
19:34No, Tara, you do that after each round.
19:36All right, gentlemen, please.
19:43All right.
19:43Quiet, please.
19:45Ladies and gentlemen, this is a three-round contest, three minutes each round.
19:50On my right, from the Woodwork Department, Nigel Jarvis.
