00:01:32Charming your lights, please. Exercise is starting.
00:01:439,000, 4,0 degrees, right.
00:01:469,000, 4,0 degrees, right. On, sir.
00:01:53Jack!
00:01:54Come on!
00:02:14Hey, hi, Mr. Luppers. Excellent. Most efficient. Straight through for gas treatment.
00:02:19No more left over there. Maldon Avenue, fully darkened.
00:02:23Maldon Avenue, fully darkened.
00:02:25Splendid. Straight through for first aid.
00:02:27Now, there's only the report on Brokey Rowan. We're complete.
00:02:31If I may say so, Mr. Mayor, this is by far the most efficient bunch of candidates I've examined in
00:02:35the district.
00:02:35Isn't there better response? Even without a pattern, I'll turn.
00:02:44Brokey Row, okey-dokey.
00:02:45Where's your gas mask?
00:02:46They only gave me one.
00:02:51Orderly.
00:02:52Take off your gas masks, everybody.
00:02:54Sound the all clear and pass a message here for after the practice is completed.
00:02:57Yes, sir.
00:02:58Call in the candidates.
00:03:01I shall now ask His Worship the Mayor to present you with your certificates,
00:03:04after which you will be fitted for your uniforms.
00:03:06I shan't need you.
00:03:09What?
00:03:09You're not the right type.
00:03:11What? Do you mean, I don't get a uniform?
00:03:14Certainly not.
00:03:14I've brought my case to take it home with me.
00:03:16This job calls for men who can set an example.
00:03:19Yeah, but I... I... I... I...
00:03:20Please, Mr. Brown, can't you see we're busy?
00:03:22Well, I was...
00:03:24Come on, Scotty.
00:03:28Now, men, I want you to realize the importance of the positions you will hold as air raid wardens.
00:03:34The uniform you will wear...
00:03:41I don't know.
00:03:42Hello, Bluebottle.
00:03:43Hello, Bluebottle.
00:03:44Micro, call in Bluebottle.
00:03:45Hello, Bluebottle.
00:03:47Hello, Bluebottle.
00:03:48Hello, Bluebottle.
00:03:48Micro, call in Bluebottle.
00:03:50Air raid precaution exercises completed.
00:03:53Over to you, Bluebottle.
00:03:54Over.
00:03:55Your message received okay.
00:03:57We'll remain on transmission to you while aircraft return to base.
00:04:00Over to you.
00:04:01What do you want?
00:04:02Sent out nice again, hasn't it?
00:04:04Who are you?
00:04:06George... George Brown.
00:04:07Nice set you've got.
00:04:08I'll bet you could get anywhere with us.
00:04:10If I wanted to.
00:04:11At present, all I'm interested in is keeping in touch with the aircraft.
00:04:15Do you mind breaking the left of those two switches for me?
00:04:18I don't break anything.
00:04:19No, I mean, pull the lever.
00:04:22Oh.
00:04:26No, no, not that one.
00:04:27I said the left.
00:04:28Yes.
00:04:29Then I'll go and fuse the whole outfit.
00:04:31Well, it's me left and right.
00:04:32I get mixed up with them.
00:04:33It's daft, isn't it?
00:04:35I'm going over to a report.
00:04:36Do you mind staying here a few minutes?
00:04:38What, me look after this for you?
00:04:39Yes.
00:04:40Yes.
00:04:40If any messages come in for me, report to me at once.
00:04:43I will, yes.
00:04:45And don't miss about with any of them switches.
00:04:47Witches?
00:04:48Them switches.
00:04:49Witches is them switches.
00:04:50Go on.
00:04:55Hello, Micro.
00:04:56We're at 8,000 feet.
00:04:58Perish and cold.
00:04:59And I'm bored stiff.
00:05:00What about putting on a hot grandmother record to cheer me up?
00:05:04Over to you.
00:05:14I'm a simple nature.
00:05:16Some folks think I'm dense.
00:05:19They think I'm slow, but I can show that I've got common sense.
00:05:23We come from monkeys, yes, alas.
00:05:26Some say we've reached a lower class.
00:05:29But each time I look in the glass, they can't fool me.
00:05:33At Hunt the Button fun I get.
00:05:36Some girls are very cute, and yet I find it every time, you bet.
00:05:41They can't fool me.
00:05:43I'm no wise guy, still I get along.
00:05:48I may not know my left from right, but I do know right from wrong.
00:05:53Two old mates said in our flat, since last night there's been a rat.
00:05:58I said give him his coat and hat, you can't fool me.
00:06:02My pal puts Violet in his bath.
00:06:05Violet, that makes me laugh.
00:06:07I found where Violet lives not half.
00:06:10They can't fool me.
00:06:12She giggles when he hugs her tight.
00:06:15When she's kissed she laughs outright.
00:06:17She had convulsions late last night.
00:06:19They can't fool me.
00:06:22I'm no wise guy, still I get along.
00:06:26I may not know my left from right, but I do know right from wrong.
00:06:31There's a baby born they say, every clock tick that's okay.
00:06:36I bought a sundial yesterday, they can't fool me.
00:06:44I'm no wise guy, and I've lost my right.
00:06:45I can't fool me.
00:06:45I can't fool you.
00:06:55I will not know my left from right now.
00:06:56I can't fool you, I can't fool you.
00:06:59I can't fool you.
00:07:03I can't fool you, I can't fool you.
00:07:19I bought a house, the terms are fine
00:07:22Weekly payments, three and nine
00:07:24In a hundred years the house is mine
00:07:27They can't fool me
00:07:29Every night a girl named Joyce
00:07:32Walks for miles but not for choice
00:07:34She rides home in a swell Rolls Royce
00:07:37They can't fool me
00:07:39I'm no wise guy, still I get along
00:07:43I may not know my left from right
00:07:46But I do know right from wrong
00:07:48To France, a honeymoon in pair
00:07:51Went to see what it's like there
00:07:53But it's no different anywhere
00:07:56They can't fool me
00:08:01Did you enjoy that blue bottle?
00:08:03That's a swell record, I must get it
00:08:05What's his number?
00:08:18Oh, mother, what'll I do now?
00:08:23Oh, mother, what'll I do now?
00:08:28It cometh, it cometh
00:08:30One, two, three
00:08:34I've done it
00:08:35You're a fine sort of brother, it's the wrong one
00:08:37In a way, it's the right one, look
00:08:38But the right one's the wrong one
00:08:40I said the left
00:08:41Right, left, you
00:08:43Oh, I've gone and got myself mixed up again
00:08:51Bob!
00:08:52Hello, Anne, darling
00:08:53What are you doing here?
00:08:55Just been delivering some letters to Sir Philip Bargray
00:08:57These, Sir Philip?
00:08:58Yeah
00:09:00Hello, George
00:09:01Turned out nice, hadn't it?
00:09:02If I go, it's a nice bite you've got
00:09:04How about it can go?
00:09:05Certainly can
00:09:07Would you like to put it in the shed for me?
00:09:09Can I?
00:09:10Oh, thanks
00:09:12Oh, listen, Anne
00:09:13Do you mind if I change my clothes
00:09:15And leave them here for a day or two?
00:09:16Of course, why?
00:09:17Well, I've got three days leave
00:09:18Before I join the airdrome at Glenbridge
00:09:20Glenbridge?
00:09:22For a week's training
00:09:23At least, that's what they say
00:09:25Actually, it's an excuse for us headquarters blokes
00:09:27To show them what's what
00:09:28Be able to pop over and see you every evening
00:09:30You will?
00:09:31Now I've got to catch a train to Cornwall
00:09:33Oh
00:09:33I'm sorry, Anne, but it must be done
00:09:36I haven't seen mum and dad for nearly a year
00:09:38The last chance I'll have before we get married
00:09:40Of course you must
00:09:41Come along, darling, hurry
00:09:42Or you'll miss the bus
00:09:50Any sign of the bus yet?
00:09:52No, not yet
00:09:52Come and give me a hand or I'll miss it
00:09:54All right
00:10:01Give me a hand, Bob
00:10:02Give me that tie
00:10:05You might hold that uniform before it gets creased
00:10:09Bygore, it's grand, isn't it?
00:10:11I'd like one like that
00:10:13Easy
00:10:14Join up
00:10:15I've tried, they won't have me
00:10:17What, chest?
00:10:18No, it's me, and I'll get mixed up with me right and left
00:10:21I never know which is which
00:10:22Whip off the bus
00:10:23All right, coming
00:10:27Oh, a tunic, George
00:10:31Forgot my leave ticket
00:10:33All right, that's it
00:10:35So long
00:10:36Bye-bye
00:10:45It's all right, I'll catch it
00:10:46Goodbye, darling
00:10:47Take care of yourself
00:11:08George, I don't like it
00:11:09I'm sure there's a better way
00:11:11Yee, but I feel grand in these claws
00:11:12But it's a serious crime to wear a uniform you're not entitled to
00:11:16It's not as serious as Bob
00:11:17Forgetting that letter
00:11:18You don't want it to get into trouble, do you?
00:11:21Hey, Scruffy, you can't come
00:11:23Now, you'll be a good dog and stay with Anne
00:11:25Well, I've got some work to do now
00:11:30Well, goodbye
00:11:30You're really going?
00:11:32Of course I'm going
00:11:32If I do a thing, I do it properly
00:11:34Then you might as well take the letter
00:11:35Oh, good idea
00:11:48I think I can manage Thursday
00:11:50Then I'll have the machine flown down by ten o'clock, sir
00:11:52Sherry
00:11:53Thank you, sir
00:11:54Good health
00:11:57Well, what do you think of it?
00:11:59Well, if it's all that they claim
00:12:00The same weight and nearly twice the horsepower
00:12:03I'm alluding to the sherry
00:12:05That's funny, sir
00:12:06I was alluding to the...
00:12:07I'm sorry, sir
00:12:08Good health, sir
00:12:11There's my closet
00:12:17What happened?
00:12:32Don't work, eh?
00:12:34No
00:12:34Well, I mean, compared to the life I lead
00:12:38Flowers are more interesting than telegrams
00:12:40Telegrams?
00:12:41I'm not a telegraph boy
00:12:42I'm an airman
00:12:43An airman?
00:12:44Ah, certainly
00:12:46I could do with an air cut
00:12:48Oh, hello
00:12:50Come back to tell us some more
00:12:51Some more?
00:12:52Oh, sorry
00:12:53I thought you were the dispatch rider who was here just now
00:12:55Oh, no
00:12:56Oh, he didn't half tell us some thrilling stories
00:13:00Oh, but he did
00:13:01I suspect you've had some close shaves in the air, too
00:13:03Well, it's lotter than I care to think about
00:13:06Oh, well, think of the best
00:13:08I'll be back in a minute
00:13:09Now, sir, about your reception
00:13:16Official or...
00:13:17Oh, no, no, no, quite informal
00:13:19A dispatch rider has just brought this, sir
00:13:21Thank you
00:13:22Perhaps a guard and a band to receive me
00:13:24Oh, certainly, sir
00:13:25And I expect the men would prefer to wear their best uniforms
00:13:27Yes, sir
00:13:28But otherwise quite informal
00:13:29Quite
00:13:29Would you mind if your dispatch rider dropped me at the aerodrome?
00:13:32Certainly not
00:13:33Oh, thank you
00:13:33Then Thursday at 10
00:13:34There I was, the aeroplane on fire
00:13:36Not just smoldering, flames everywhere
00:13:38What did you do?
00:13:39I jumped, of course
00:13:40When I jumped, I remembered I'd forgotten my parachute
00:13:42Forgotten it?
00:13:43Yes
00:13:43I put out my left hand
00:13:44Oh, that's the right
00:13:45Sorry
00:13:45My left hand grabbed the side of the aeroplane and climbed in again
00:13:48You did?
00:13:48Yes, after that, the aeroplane went over and over
00:13:51The parachute fell out
00:13:52I dived after it
00:13:53And then what do you think happened?
00:13:54What?
00:13:55Oh, nothing, sir, nothing, sir
00:13:55Good afternoon, sir
00:13:56Wait a minute, wait a minute
00:13:58I've got to go on, sir
00:13:59You've got to take me to Glenbridge Aerodrome
00:14:01But I've got to go back to Antquart
00:14:02I mean headquarters, sir
00:14:03After you've dropped me
00:14:04But I don't know the way, sir
00:14:05I'll show you the way
00:14:05But I'm...
00:14:06Now, come on, quick, I'm in a hurry
00:14:07Oh, come on
00:14:10Get off
00:14:13To the right
00:14:16I said to the right
00:14:18Sorry, sir
00:14:27Don't mind me
00:14:28Very good, sir
00:14:39This is the last straw
00:14:41No, sir, there's two more in your hat
00:14:50Trying to scare me, eh?
00:14:51No, sir
00:14:52I know who you are
00:14:55I'm a dispatch rider, sir
00:14:57You're one of those daredevils
00:14:58That does stunts at Olympia
00:14:59Yes, sir
00:15:01It takes more than a dispatch rider
00:15:02To frighten me
00:15:03I think
00:15:04Yes, sir
00:15:11Turned out nice again, hasn't it, sir?
00:15:15Look what you've done
00:15:16Look me the answer
00:15:39Where the places are you going?
00:15:42It's shorter this way, sir
00:15:44What?
00:15:50What?
00:15:54I thought we were going to be hurled into maternity then, sir
00:15:57If you take me throwing them all water, you'll be thrown in the cells
00:16:00Yes, sir
00:16:05What's the matter?
00:16:06You'll find out in a minute
00:16:07What?
00:16:08Oh!
00:16:09And help it!
00:16:11Hey, stop!
00:16:14Oh!
00:16:23Oh, pity!
00:16:28Eyes right!
00:16:31Eyes front!
00:16:44Oh, wait a minute
00:16:44I've got some letters for headquarters
00:16:46You'd better take them
00:16:47It's quicker than by first
00:16:48Well, it might not be, sir
00:16:49If you take them half as fast as you brought me here
00:16:51The letters will be there before they're written
00:16:52Yes, but I would
00:16:53They'll be ready in half an hour
00:16:54Half an hour?
00:16:55Have I got to wait here half an hour?
00:16:57Why, certainly
00:16:57What do you matter to cycle outside the garage?
00:16:59Well, I'll
00:16:59Now, come along, come along
00:17:00Put a jack in it
00:17:01Yes, sir
00:17:06Mr. Philip decided when he's coming, sir
00:17:07Yes, Thursday
00:17:08Warm the sergeant major
00:17:09Very good, sir
00:17:30Very good, sir
00:17:56See, if you'll put your...
00:17:57Why the blazes don't you knock before coming in?
00:18:00Can't you read?
00:18:01I thought
00:18:01Are you no right to think?
00:18:03Well, I was only trying to help you
00:18:04If you'll take the neck of the...
00:18:05I'll take you by the neck
00:18:06Get out!
00:18:07Well, you know
00:18:07I was only trying to...
00:18:08Get out!
00:18:11Third finger, indeed
00:18:13Third
00:18:23Excuse me
00:18:24It's that third finger
00:18:25Keep it to the outside
00:18:27Get away, will you?
00:18:38You might cry
00:18:39I'll get even with you
00:18:40You'll have to get up mighty early
00:18:43Come into the kitchen
00:18:44See me, Peggy
00:18:45I'm sorry, I can't
00:18:46I'm on duty at the canteen
00:18:47Now, if you'd asked me last night
00:18:49How could I?
00:18:50I was night flying that ARP exercise
00:18:52Never mind
00:18:53There'll be lots more chances
00:18:54Ah, you bet
00:18:56Hello, who's that?
00:18:59Oh, dispatch rider from headquarters
00:19:01Arrived just now with the CO
00:19:02Headquarters, eh?
00:19:04Here, fill them up
00:19:06This is where we have some fun, eh?
00:19:08Hi, hello there
00:19:09Come and join us
00:19:12What about the coffee?
00:19:13No, thanks
00:19:13From headquarters, aren't you?
00:19:16Yes, that's right, headquarters
00:19:18Turned out nice again, hasn't it?
00:19:20You know, it'll be fine if it doesn't rain
00:19:22Would you like a bun?
00:19:24Oh, no, thank you
00:19:25I'll bet it's as good as anything
00:19:26You'll get at headquarters
00:19:28Oh, go on
00:19:29It was made by our own sweet little hands
00:19:31Well, in that case
00:19:34Thanks
00:19:40Seven broke, he broke
00:19:41Frogly
00:19:42You'd better keep him here
00:19:43Send him a note
00:19:44Telling him where he is
00:19:45Right, sir
00:19:46We must have our little joke
00:19:48Oh, you're welcome
00:19:50Here, try this as bigger
00:19:51Oh, thank you
00:19:52Eh, you're welcome
00:19:57All right now?
00:19:59Yes, thanks
00:19:59There you are
00:20:02Well, so long, pal
00:20:03So long
00:20:03Tried on the big headquarters
00:20:04It'll be a yield
00:20:05It always was
00:20:07Well, so long, Peggy
00:20:09See you later
00:20:12That's new, isn't it?
00:20:13Do you like it?
00:20:14I say I do
00:20:15Can I tell you what I think about it?
00:20:17Don't bother
00:20:19Well, I'll be getting back to headquarters
00:20:21Drop me a line next time you're coming around
00:20:23Yes, I will
00:20:24I have some more gags ready for you
00:20:27I'm a bit of a one that gags myself
00:20:30Bye
00:20:31Well, I must say you asked for it
00:20:32Oh, well, it's about time some of these headquarters nitwits were told where they get off
00:20:36Better look after, he may come back with one on you
00:20:38He's got a hope
00:20:40Hello, Daddy
00:20:41I'm just going down to the farm to get some eggs
00:20:43Oh
00:20:44Who's been upsetting you?
00:20:45One of those new recruits
00:20:46But don't you worry
00:20:47I'm just going to drill them on the playground
00:20:50Oh, well, I must hurry
00:20:51Bye-bye
00:21:10Hey, get away
00:21:17Get down
00:21:25Hey, quick, look at the headquarters
00:21:32It's all right now
00:21:34You've got a nerve
00:21:35Oh, it's all right any time I meet you
00:21:38Thought it was a funny way to get even, did you?
00:21:40No, I was
00:21:40Well, if it's your idea of a joke, it's not mine
00:21:43No joke
00:21:45Ruining my new frock
00:21:46Get away
00:21:50Hey, look, they're laughing upters
00:21:51And here's something else for them to laugh at
00:22:02That'll be giving it fresh
00:22:03It's nothing to laugh at, you might have killed her
00:22:05Oh, don't you kid me, you didn't know they were blanks
00:22:08Blanks?
00:22:09Blanks
00:22:09Oh, not a bad idea, though
00:22:11Try it myself next time I'm a bird boss
00:22:12He's
00:22:13Right, change
00:22:15Great reflection
00:22:16Fire!
00:22:24Hey, you, come here

00:22:26I've got a nail in it
00:22:27Here, take a look
00:22:28Thanks
00:22:29Here, hold it a moment, will you?
00:22:30Well, now listen to me
00:22:32That girl happens to be a particular friend of mine
00:22:34I know, I would go to
00:22:35Popple Craig, my commander, watch your logbook
00:22:37Okay
00:22:37Well, I would
00:22:38Hold that

00:23:00No, sir
00:23:01Come on, get a move on
00:23:03Get to it
00:23:04I say you, you better take the right side behind the hangar
00:23:07What, me?
00:23:09I mean, there's very strict on regulations here
00:23:12Rifles near, petrol tanks, that's all the deal
00:23:14Oh, you can
00:23:15Oh, no, no, no, I'm busy
00:23:15There's a flight commander
00:23:16I have to look out, here's an office coming
00:23:19Quick, out through this door
00:23:21No, no, I don't want to go out there
00:23:23Jump to it, jump to it
00:23:26Bubbly there
00:23:26One, again, jump
00:23:29Stand up, ice
00:23:33Where the blazer have you been?
00:23:34Me?
00:23:35Yes, you
00:23:36Don't hurry, though, we'll wait
00:23:38Yeah, but I was
00:23:39All in at the double
00:23:40Yeah, but you don't
00:23:40Going duck shooting?
00:23:42Me, no, no, I'll
00:23:43I'll teach you to bust into my office
00:23:45Well, I never try
00:23:46I was going out
00:23:46Trail arms, will you?
00:23:48Trail arms when you come on parade
00:23:49I was only going the other way
00:23:50All in at the trail, like this, see
00:23:52And when you address me, say, sir
00:23:54Sir?
00:23:55Yes, sir
00:23:55Well, sir
00:23:56I'll have no answering back on parade here
00:23:58Now fall in
00:23:59Fall in what?
00:24:00Fall in there
00:24:01Or I'll have you up before the seal
00:24:02Fall in
00:24:05Silence in the ranch
00:24:06One more word from you
00:24:09Swap
00:24:11Attention
00:24:12For inspection
00:24:14For
00:24:14And
00:24:18What do I do?
00:24:19Pull the bolt out
00:24:19This
00:24:21Oh
00:24:24Come over the bolt
00:24:26That's better
00:24:28What are you trying to do?
00:24:29Climb up it?
00:24:29No, I haven't
00:24:30This is the way you
00:24:31I was going to
00:24:32I was going to
00:24:33Put your thumb over the bolt
00:24:34Yes, sir
00:24:36Filthy
00:24:37Can't see a thing
00:24:38Let's have a look
00:24:40What the blader do you think you're doing?
00:24:41I told you to keep your thumb over the bolt
00:24:43Well, I have, but it's good enough
00:24:44Look
00:24:45Here, here, where are you going?
00:24:47Oh, parade
00:24:47You stay here for a bit
00:24:48I'll now demonstrate the slope arms
00:24:52One pause
00:24:53Two pause
00:24:54Three
00:24:56Now let's see you do it
00:24:57And don't forget
00:24:59Throw your rifle up
00:25:02Slope
00:25:03Out
00:25:12What the blazing do you think you're doing?
00:25:14Well, it went in and I couldn't
00:25:15Silence
00:25:19That's enough for the slope arms
00:25:21Order
00:25:22I'm
00:25:23I will now demonstrate
00:25:27The ground arms
00:25:29On the command arms
00:25:31Grass the rifle at the lower band
00:25:33And in one smart movement
00:25:35Bending smartly downwards
00:25:37Lay the rifle on the ground
00:25:39Parallel to the right foot
00:25:40Have you watched me carefully?
00:25:42I'll demonstrate the movement in slow time
00:25:45Ground
00:25:54I'll teach you to laugh on parade
00:25:57As for you
00:25:58You'll laugh on the wrong side of your face
00:26:00Before the day's out
00:26:02Silence
00:26:05I will now demonstrate
00:26:07In slow time
00:26:08The ground arms
00:26:11Ground
00:26:13Up
00:26:20Twice, eh?
00:26:21I beg your pardon?
00:26:22I said twice, eh?
00:26:24He put it in my...
00:26:25Silence!
00:26:26You will come to my office immediately after parade
00:26:30I will now demonstrate
00:26:33In slow time
00:26:35The ground arms
00:26:38Ground
00:26:41I
00:26:51No, you're wrong
00:26:52You're wrong
00:26:53What the blazes do you think you're doing?
00:26:55I didn't do anything, ask him
00:26:56Silence!
00:26:57It was you
00:26:58Sergeant Mater
00:27:00Yes, sir
00:27:01Here
00:27:11How are the new recruits?
00:27:12Speaking for 21 of them, sir
00:27:13I've seen worse
00:27:14And the other one?
00:27:15During 30 years service, sir
00:27:16Yes, yes, yes, quite, Sergeant Mater
00:27:17I'll have a look at him
00:27:23Now look at that button
00:27:24No good airman ever comes on parade improperly dressed
00:27:26Eh, Sergeant Mater?
00:27:27No, sir
00:27:30Smarten yourself up, man
00:27:31Look at me
00:27:36Well, which one is it?
00:27:38I can't see him, sir
00:27:39What do you mean you can't see him?
00:27:40He's gone, sir
00:27:40Gone?
00:27:41The recruit can't disappear off parade
00:27:43This one could do anything, sir
00:27:45There he is, sir
00:27:47Come here, you
00:27:52He's no recruit
00:27:52He's a dispatch rider from headquarters
00:27:54A what, sir?
00:27:55He drove me here only a few minutes ago
00:27:56That's what I've been trying to tell you
00:27:58Have you got my letters ready, sir?
00:27:59All in good time
00:28:04Look, sir
00:28:08Don't look round, sir
00:28:09But your shirt's hanging out
00:28:11Sergeant Mater
00:28:15Present
00:28:17Ones
00:28:24Hello
00:28:24Probably 214, please
00:28:28Hello
00:28:29This is you
00:28:30Is that me?
00:28:34Yes, I know
00:28:36But it's past my bedtime
00:28:37The letters haven't arrived yet
00:28:38But, George, you must wait for them
00:28:40If you don't, they'll find out about Bob
00:28:42He'll be court-martialed
00:28:44All right, don't worry
00:28:45I won't let them find out
00:28:46But I wish they'd hurry up with them letters
00:28:48Who was it?
00:28:50Oh, wrong number, sir
00:28:51Oh
00:28:51Ask them to hurry up with them letters, will you?
00:28:54I'll let you know when they're ready
00:28:55Now get along to the canteen
00:28:56Yes, sir
00:29:10Oh, look
00:29:11He's still here
00:29:14Hey, Romeo
00:29:22Hello
00:29:22Hello
00:29:22Have a bun
00:29:23No, thanks
00:29:24I don't want a rifle, either
00:29:26Right, all right, all right
00:29:27I'd like to speak to the young lady I met on the aerodrome
00:29:29Met?
00:29:29Oh, that's rich
00:29:30Peggy, look who's here
00:29:31Oh, if it is Mr. Headquarters himself
00:29:33It's a big practical joke
00:29:35Look, I'm sorry I messed up with your frock
00:29:37I think I lost me head
00:29:38You certainly did
00:29:39Wouldn't you let me apologise?
00:29:41Sorry, I'm very busy
00:29:47Come out of the way, let the lady pass
00:29:48Sorry
00:29:50Was it two copies or three?
00:29:51Two
00:29:51Okay
00:29:55Hey, what's going on here?
00:29:57Nothing, nothing, nothing
00:29:57What about a turn at the concert, Craig?
00:29:59No fear
00:30:00Oh, why not?
00:30:01Not in my line
00:30:01Ask him, he's full of gags
00:30:03What's he do?
00:30:04Oh, sing, dance, play any musical instrument
00:30:06Oh, any musical instrument
00:30:09It might interest you to know I have played a ukulele
00:30:12Oh, so you can play the ukulele, eh?
00:30:14Well, a little bit
00:30:15What a pity you won't be here to show us what you can do, eh?
00:30:18I might surprise you if I was
00:30:19What surprises now?
00:30:20The boys would love a song
00:30:21I can't play, no
00:30:23What's that?
00:30:23What are you?
00:30:25Service
00:30:26Listen, you fellas
00:30:27Hey
00:30:27Big shot from headquarters is dying to sing to you
00:30:30Any objections?
00:30:31No, no, no
00:30:33I can't sing here
00:30:34Maybe you're just trying to show off, eh?
00:30:38Well, you've asked for it
00:30:48Two girls at our house came to stay
00:30:51To prove that I'm not giving way
00:30:53I sold the sofa yesterday
00:30:56They can't fool me
00:30:58To back a winning horse is fun
00:31:01In a race of 14 run
00:31:03I put a bob on everyone
00:31:05They can't fool me
00:31:08I'm no wise guy
00:31:10Still I get along
00:31:12I may not know my left from right
00:31:15But I do know right from wrong
00:31:17Went to sleep and Winkle went
00:31:20He left his wife without a cent
00:31:22But someone must have paid the rent
00:31:25They can't fool me
00:31:27The stalk brings new bond babes each week
00:31:30But I've not seen one so unique
00:31:32With a black bag hanging from his beak
00:31:34They can't fool me
00:31:36My pals all shout for drinks, it's fine
00:31:39Then at last the shout is mine
00:31:42But I shout too late, they've shouted time
00:31:44They can't fool me
00:31:47Very good, I must say
00:31:48Hey, I wrote it myself
00:31:49You did?
00:31:50Yes
00:31:50Oh, come on, sing it
00:31:51Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute
00:31:53Oh, anyway, where were you last night?
00:31:56Er, headquarters, of course
00:31:57Funny thing, but when I was night flying
00:31:59I heard that very song relayed from Frogley
00:32:27Now there's a sergeant major
00:32:29Enjoys life while he can
00:32:31He proves to all the ladies
00:32:34He's a soldier and a man
00:32:36He sticks out his chest
00:32:38Two pillars in his vest
00:32:40A bolster under his rotunda
00:32:43Our sergeant major
00:32:44His medals break our hearts
00:32:47He won them playing dance
00:32:49And while competing
00:32:50Who was cheating?
00:32:51Our sergeant major
00:32:53He's far away
00:32:54The worst friend we've ever had
00:32:57When he's far away
00:32:59Well, we're mighty glad
00:33:01In the canteen bar
00:33:04You know what sergeants are
00:33:06When we passed out
00:33:07Who's the last out?
00:33:09Our sergeant major
00:33:10He's got a raucous voice
00:33:12His language isn't choice
00:33:14In clink we'd shove him
00:33:16How we'd love him
00:33:17Our sergeant major
00:33:19His weight about
00:33:20He'll throw
00:33:21The wicked so-and-so
00:33:23Who'd even smother
00:33:25His own mother
00:33:26Our sergeant major
00:33:27He's far away
00:33:29The worst friend we've ever had
00:33:31When he's far away
00:33:33When he's far away
00:33:34Well, we're mighty glad
00:33:35Our butler goes his rounds
00:33:38And when the butler sounds
00:33:40For everlasting
00:33:41Who's he blasting?
00:33:43Our sergeant major
00:33:44He's far away
00:33:46He's far away
00:33:57How we're going
00:33:57To be honest
00:33:57He's far away
00:34:00That's what we're all
00:34:01He's far away
00:34:02And when he knows
00:34:03He's far away
00:34:05He's far away
00:34:05To be honest
00:34:06He'll be honest
00:34:07That's all
00:34:09He's far away
00:34:18Now he makes rory crooks
00:34:21Just tremble in their boots
00:34:23He calls them slackers
00:34:25Who's gone crackers
00:34:26Our sergeant major
00:34:27His feet below the road
00:34:29No needin' pitchin' toad
00:34:32We'd sooner shoot him
00:34:33Than salute him
00:34:34Our sergeant major
00:34:36He's far away
00:34:37The worst friend we've ever had
00:34:40When he's far away
00:34:42Well, we're mighty glad
00:34:44The mascot goat he owns
00:34:46So big and fat as grown
00:34:49Wild and warlike
00:34:50It's far more like
00:34:52Our sergeant major
00:35:06There'll be no encore
00:35:07Because you're coming with me
00:35:09To the garb room
00:35:09Hang on down to the back
00:35:11Right tower
00:35:12Right
00:35:13Quick march
00:35:19Hello, Struffy
00:35:20Well, well, well, well
00:35:23That's your dog?
00:35:24Yes, sir
00:35:24I thought he'd come from headquarters
00:35:26Yes, sir
00:35:27Followed you down, I suppose
00:35:29Yes, sir
00:35:29No, sir
00:35:30That is, you see, sir
00:35:31I don't
00:35:31Well, he used to belong to me
00:35:33But I gave him to somebody
00:35:34That lives round here
00:35:35He must have heard
00:35:37I said I was down for the day
00:35:38I'll teach you to be funny
00:35:40Come on
00:35:40Yes, sir
00:35:47Hello, old boy
00:35:48What's your dress?
00:35:50Brokey row frobbling
00:35:52That settles it
00:35:53He's not from headquarters
00:35:54What do you mean?
00:35:55Probably not in the Air Force at all
00:35:57I'd better let the sergeant major know at once
00:36:03Dave
00:36:04If he's not in the Air Force
00:36:06He might have thought those were real bullets
00:36:07Yes, they'll account for all sorts of things
00:36:09The way he fell for the rifle and the bun
00:36:11But if he believed they were real bullets
00:36:13Oh, what a mug
00:36:13It seems a pity to lose him
00:36:15Please don't tell Daddy tonight
00:36:17Why?
00:36:18Well, there might be some mistake
00:36:19Let me take the dog back in the morning
00:36:20And make sure
00:36:21Perhaps all right
00:36:22But in the meantime
00:36:24Peggy, quick
00:36:24I'll show you for you inside
00:36:26Come on
00:36:26Are you coming?
00:36:27In a minute
00:36:30You heard what the flight commander said?
00:36:32Commanding officers default us tomorrow morning
00:36:34But I can't stop here all night
00:36:35You can and will
00:36:36In number three barrack room
00:36:37But what about the letters?
00:36:38They'll be posted
00:36:40Number three barrack room
00:36:47I say I'm sorry, Courcho
00:36:48Oh, no, you're not
00:36:49You're glad
00:36:50Oh, no, you get me wrong
00:36:51You know, we must have
00:36:52Our little joke, I know
00:36:53But underneath
00:36:55Big hearty, that's me
00:36:56Well, can you tell
00:36:57Where number three barrack room is?
00:36:58Yes, definitely
00:36:59Right down the end
00:36:59Thanks
00:37:00Oh, do you know
00:37:01What happened to that dog?
00:37:02Oh, don't worry
00:37:02He's being sent back
00:37:03To the address on the collar
00:37:04Oh, I've
00:37:05Have you any objections?
00:37:07No, no, no
00:37:09No, no
00:37:16So, wait, wait a minute
00:37:18Did you see number three?
00:37:19Number three, yes
00:37:20Oh, I'm sorry
00:37:20I made a mistake
00:37:21Number three is just here
00:37:22Oh
00:37:24You're lucky
00:37:25Number three is one of the new ones
00:37:26Yes, sir
00:37:27I suppose it's a long time
00:37:29Since you were in RAF station
00:37:31Meaning
00:37:31Oh, I mean, being on the headquarters
00:37:33And all that sort of thing
00:37:34Oh, yes

00:37:38Yes

00:37:40Thanks

00:37:59Fine

00:38:14I tell you we look after the boys on this station
00:38:16It looks like it
00:38:17If there's anything else you want
00:38:18Just ask the sergeant major
00:38:20He won't be coming here, will he?
00:38:21Oh, he'll probably come in and tuck you up
00:38:23Oh, I can see him doing that
00:38:25Oh, he's not as bad as you think
00:38:27Actually, he's one of the kindest men in the service
00:38:31Why, look, the bus already
00:38:33As well, didn't I say he was thoughtful?
00:38:36Yeah, to make yourself at home

00:44:17Good night, Daddy.
00:45:04Slope out.
00:50:03your papers. I thought so. Aircraftman Bullock, 2814. You'll be pleased to know you've been
00:50:13posted here for a week's training. From now on, you're under my command. Get back inside.
00:50:18But I've been given leave. Who by? Headquarters. Oh, well, that's different, isn't it? Aye,
00:50:23and I'll be different when I come back, too. You're not coming back. I know that.
00:50:27Eh? Because you're never going. Well, what if I had me leave? Where's your leave ticket?
00:50:33Haven't got it? Just to try on, eh? No. Get back inside.
00:50:38Or do you want to be put under arrest? No. Then get inside. Yes.
00:50:41And report to me on the playground. Yes.
00:50:48Hey, corporal. Exercise fire drill. Fire on the first floor, number six bedroom. Very good, sir.
00:51:06Oh, hello. Oh, hello. I said, he just told me. What? Don't worry. From now on, I'm on your side.
00:51:14Goat! Come on, wake up. Don't go to sleep. Look out the sight of me. Do exact as I kill
00:51:19him.
00:51:19You can't go wrong. Come on, look at that. Take this back to a stand. Hold me up the left.
00:51:23Get out of the way.
00:51:24Get out of the way. Get out of the way, sir.
00:51:29Come on, jump. Jump. Jump.
00:51:35Come on, beautiful man. Jump, man. Jump. Jump.
00:51:41Come on, hurry up.
00:51:44Oh, the blazing did that.
00:51:52Jump. Ah.
00:51:55Now we have to jump into the net.
00:51:57Eh?
00:51:59Well, jump from here.
00:52:02Oh, I can't do that.
00:52:04But there's nothing in it.
00:52:05Here.
00:52:05That's enough in the net.
00:52:07Rest down the chute.
00:52:09I'm not going through there.
00:52:10I'll hurt myself.
00:52:10Of course you won't.
00:52:11No, you go on first.
00:52:12Anyway, as a corporal, I have to go last to leave.
00:52:14Yes, I know, but I...
00:52:25Ah, never touched me.
00:52:27Pick your feet up.
00:52:28Where's that bull?
00:52:29Just jumped into the net, sir.
00:52:35I'll get him.
00:52:37What do you want to jump for?
00:52:39Well, Craig, dole me too.
00:52:40Craig?
00:52:41I'm just coming down the chute.
00:52:43Now's a chance to get your own back.
00:52:45Don't keep on the head as he comes down the chute.
00:52:47Come on.
00:52:48Over there.
00:52:49Oh, here we go.
00:52:52He's coming down.
00:52:52Look over there.
00:52:53Look out.
00:52:53I'm going next.
00:52:54Never mind Sergeant Wilson.
00:52:57Young Jewish man.
00:52:58Read your orders.
00:52:59Yes, sir.
00:52:59Don't argue with me.
00:53:00I'm in a hurry.
00:53:00Excuse me, sir.
00:53:01We're going down the chute, sir.
00:53:02No, no, no.
00:53:02The stairs.
00:53:03Far quicker, sir.
00:53:04I dare say.
00:53:04Either way, you men.
00:53:06Sergeant Major wants to demonstrate.
00:53:07I never said, sir.
00:53:08Allow me, sir.
00:53:11Yes, sir.
00:53:12Careful.
00:53:12Of course I'll be careful.
00:53:14Here he comes.
00:53:14Here he comes.
00:53:16Quick, quick, quick.
00:53:21Quick, quick.
00:53:22Go on, three.
00:53:23What's up?
00:53:26Go on, easy.
00:53:28Cool.
00:53:32But what did you hit me up the head with that?
00:53:34No, sir.
00:53:35Answer me.
00:53:36Stop twisting round there, will you?
00:53:37Well...
00:53:38You what?
00:53:39You're imparting us, have a stray in the loot in town.
00:53:54Hello, Daddy.
00:54:09Practicing for the concert?
00:54:12Doesn't sound in tune.
00:54:13It's nothing to do with the tuning.
00:54:15It's the darn uke. It's warped or something.
00:54:18Would you like me to ask Bullock to have a look at it for you?
00:54:20Bullock? Never mention that man to me again.
00:54:23Oh, Daddy, don't be so hard on him.
00:54:24He's an extracentric old now. I'll learn him.
00:54:27Maybe if you were a little nicer to him and helped him with his drill...
00:54:30Me?
00:54:31...then he'd help you with your uke.
00:54:32Are you suggesting that... Come in.
00:54:35Good evening, sir.
00:54:36What do you want here?
00:54:37Peggy asked me to take her across to the canteen.
00:54:40Oh, she did. Are you ready?
00:54:42All right.
00:54:43Good night, sir.
00:54:44Good night, Craig. Good night.
00:54:47Bye-bye, Daddy. See you later.
00:54:48All right.
00:54:53I never asked you to call for me.
00:54:55I took your wish for granted.
00:54:56You've got a nerve.
00:54:57You promised me a lot of good marks for keeping my mouth shut.
00:55:00Oh.
00:55:01Ha-ha.
00:55:04Ha-ha.
00:55:09Ha-ha.
00:55:13How the play do you think you're doing?
00:55:15Yes, sir. No, sir.
00:55:16Oh, it's you.
00:55:18Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:55:20Oh.
00:55:20Good evening.
00:55:21Oh, we must have our little joke, you know.
00:55:23Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:55:24Come along, sweetheart.
00:55:26Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:55:26Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:55:30Waiting, yes, waiting for me.
00:55:34Here, what about both of you doing a duet?
00:55:36At the concert?
00:55:37Yes.
00:55:37Oh, not likely.
00:55:39Ha-ha-ha.
00:55:40We're going to get some private.
00:55:41Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:55:42The bells of St. Perry's,
00:55:46Ah, here they are calling,
00:55:51The young love, the true love,
00:55:56Who comes of the sea.
00:56:01Oh, my beloved,
00:56:05When red leaves are falling...
00:56:08What the blaster do you think you're doing?
00:56:10Ha-ha, go on, have a little joke.
00:56:12I don't mind.
00:56:12Why are you talking to me?!
00:56:14Not if, not if...
00:56:16If, if...
00:56:19It's...
00:56:19It...
00:56:20It's...
00:56:20Oh, my...
00:56:22It...
00:56:22You...
00:56:23Maybe it's...
00:56:23All right?
00:56:26Come here.
00:56:30My friend.
00:56:32Eh?
00:56:33I want to make a little appeal to you.
00:56:36and a feel to your better nature.
00:56:39What's that?
00:56:40I wonder if you would consider trying.
00:56:43Trying what?
00:56:44Trying to do your duty.
00:56:46Trying to be efficient.
00:56:49Trying to love me a little.
00:56:52Instead of nearly driving me off the head!
00:56:55Well, I don't mean to do it, sir.
00:56:58You don't?
00:56:59No.
00:57:00I want to be efficient.
00:57:02I want to do my duty.
00:57:03Something always happens to me.
00:57:05Yes, and when things happen to you,
00:57:08something always happens to me.
00:57:11Well, I don't mean to, sir.
00:57:13Then you will make a real effort.
00:57:16I promise I'll do my level best.
00:57:18Oh, thank you, my boy.
00:57:25By the way, that...
00:57:28that middle...
00:57:29Yes, I know what you mean, sir.
00:57:31It's that middle finger, you see.
00:57:32If you get it on the outside string
00:57:34and you bend the first and second joint, press hard.
00:57:40Of course, of course.
00:57:42How stupid of me.
00:57:43Thanks very, very much.
00:57:44Excuse me, sir.
00:57:45Yes?
00:57:46My rifle.
00:57:47Quite, quite.
00:57:55Look here, Peggy.
00:57:56I'd like you to like me a lot.
00:57:57I'd like you a good deal more
00:57:59if you stop trying to make a fool of George.
00:58:00Oh, George, eh?
00:58:01Oh, listen, sweetheart.
00:58:03Don't tell me you're getting fond of him.
00:58:05Oh, no, no, of course not.
00:58:06Oh, I should hope not.
00:58:08Miserable, round-shoulder little rat.
00:58:11Round-shoulder, eh?
00:58:14Who tried to be smart, is he?
00:58:16If you ask me anything, he is smart.
00:58:26Give me a lot of these, will you?
00:58:27Well, that about fills up the program.
00:58:29Except at the finale.
00:58:30Yes, we've got to find something really good for that.
00:58:32That's a better one.
00:59:12That's more like it.
00:59:13Now you look something like a sentry.
00:59:15Thank you, sir.
00:59:16At any moment now, the seal will be passing on his round.
00:59:18When I order present arms, don't forget.
00:59:22One pause, two pause, three.
00:59:25Not now, not now.
00:59:27With a little practice, you'll be as smart as any of them.
00:59:30Thank you, sir.
00:59:30Very difficult to bend that third finger
00:59:32without moving the others.
00:59:34And it's a practice, sir.
00:59:35Quite, quite.
00:59:36Look out, the seal.
00:59:37Better get these railings painted.
00:59:39We'll take Sir Philip that way to the tarmac.
00:59:40Present!
00:59:42Out!
00:59:46Oh!
00:59:49Sorry, ma'am.
00:59:51Yes, sir?
00:59:52Not only did I hear you hiccup,
00:59:54but I distinctly saw you stagger.
00:59:56But, sir, I...
00:59:57I'll likely in future take more water with it.
00:59:58That's all.
01:00:04Get out of me sight and never let me see you again!
01:00:09Yes, sir.
01:00:21Oh, you'll never guess what I've seen just now.
01:00:25What's that?
01:00:25A stancher with a balloon tied on the end of his bayonet.
01:00:28What?
01:00:30The fact, the head quartersteller that sang the song, you know.
01:00:33Here, what do you want?
01:00:34To stop him before he gets into trouble.
01:00:35Oh, forget it.
01:00:36Well, I think it's a shame playing such a dirty trick on him.
01:00:39Look out.
01:00:39There he is.
01:00:44Corporal Crane.
01:00:45Hello.
01:00:45The seal wants you.
01:00:46What for?
01:00:47You'll be detailed as radio operator for tomorrow's test.
01:00:50Do you hear that, boys and girls?
01:00:51Whenever there's an important job to be done,
01:00:53who do they send for?
01:00:54Oh, you make me think.
01:00:55See you later, Peggy.
01:00:56You know, the seal just can't get along without me.
01:00:59Can I get you something?
01:01:01Do you serve shrimps?
01:01:02They serve anybody.
01:01:03Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:01:10What's the matter?
01:01:13Oh, nothing.
01:01:14Yes, there is.
01:01:16I was just thinking how right they were not to let me join the Air Force.
01:01:20What do you mean?
01:01:22Oh, I'm no good.
01:01:24Every time I try to be smart, something always goes wrong.
01:01:28Is this to do with a balloon?
01:01:31Craig, wasn't it?
01:01:35Of course, it's nothing to do with me, I know.
01:01:37But it beats me why you're so fond of him.
01:01:41You said I was fond of him.
01:01:42Well, you're always together.
01:01:45Hasn't struck you, I suppose, that I might have to play up to him
01:01:48to keep his mouth shut about you.
01:01:51You mean you're doing it for me?
01:01:53In a way, yes.
01:01:56Here, come with me a minute.
01:01:58Yes.
01:01:59There's no idea in here.
01:02:03I do.
01:02:04Oh, wait till Craig comes back.
01:02:08Do you remember an incident with a machine gun?
01:02:11Oh, I hope you've forgotten that.
01:02:13Well, I want to explain.
01:02:15I didn't realise at the time that you knew nothing about the Air Force.
01:02:18No, no, I made a fool of myself.
01:02:19And I didn't know you thought they were real bullets.
01:02:22You know, if I had any more sense, I'd be daft.
01:02:24Well, I don't call it daft, running out to save somebody,
01:02:27and all the time you think there's a chance of being killed yourself.
01:02:30Oh, so that's why you started being nice to me.
01:02:33Yes.
01:02:34I'd hoped it was because you were beginning to like me.
01:02:37You mean you want me to like you, after the beastly rotten way I behaved?
01:02:42Well, you see, I was going...
01:02:46I feel daft saying it.
01:02:49I like you.
01:02:51And I like you.
01:02:53A lot.
01:02:59Hey, what's this doing here?
01:03:00It's Daddy's.
01:03:01He thinks there's something wrong with it and wants you to have a look at it for him.
01:03:05I can't see anything wrong with it.
01:03:06He wants you to give him a lesson, too.
01:03:08Oh, he won't want that after what's just happened.
01:03:11Nonsense!
01:03:12Beginning from now, you're going to show everybody just what you're made of.
01:03:15Do you think I could?
01:03:17Of course, you've shown me already.
01:03:18Why not show the others?
01:03:19Well, I could if you wanted me to.
01:03:21Oh, I do.
01:03:23I'll show them.
01:03:24That's the stuff.
01:03:25You can do anything if you try hard enough.
01:03:27You leave it to me.
01:03:32Is there anybody near us?
01:03:37No.
01:03:39Well, can anybody hear us?
01:03:45No.
01:03:47For I've got something important
01:03:53To say
01:03:55Oh, skiddy way, skidad, skidoo
01:03:57Try from trotters and cow heels, too
01:04:02Do I seem a little loony?
01:04:08Well.
01:04:10Well, I am a little loony.
01:04:15You said it.
01:04:17For I've not been feeling myself all day
01:04:24It's in the air
01:04:29This funny feeling everywhere
01:04:32That makes me sing without a care today
01:04:36As I go on my way
01:04:38It's in the air
01:04:42It's in the air
01:04:45There's great excitement here and there
01:04:49The sun is shining everywhere

01:07:23And spring makes everybody sing it in the air
01:08:27Carry on, flight. Very good, sir.
01:08:32Flight. Your work. Yes, miss.
01:08:46Quick.
01:08:47Ann's just arrived and said that Bob's reporting in the guardroom.
01:08:50Bob?
01:08:51He mustn't do that.
01:08:52He's just back from leaving and is furious with you for trying to take his place.
01:08:55Yes, but they'll find out about the letter.
01:08:58Oh, that's his funeral. The point is that he's reporting.
01:09:01Then you'll be arrested and you'll get six months for wearing that uniform.
01:09:04Six months?
01:09:08Oh, you must get away before they find out.
01:09:10Yes, I know, but I know.
01:09:12And I said that they were flesh from the garden this morning.
01:09:15Of course, if he didn't want to believe me, he needn't.
01:09:19Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
01:09:21How on earth did that happen?
01:09:22Oh, you must have it bandaged.
01:09:23No, there's nothing wrong with it.
01:09:25Of course there isn't.
01:09:26Don't argue. I've seen fingers like that before.
01:09:28Come on.
01:09:33Can I have a bandage, please?
01:09:35Somebody hurt themselves.
01:09:36Only a finger.
01:09:37Oh, is that all?
01:09:38Now, mine is better than nothing.
01:09:40Here, let's have a look.
01:09:41Don't worry. I'll do it.
01:09:44Don, if I know where they keep us here.
01:09:46Three months now and not a blessed job.
01:09:49But there's nothing wrong with it.
01:09:51I know that's not silly, but I've got to talk to you alone.
01:09:53Oh.
01:09:53You see that farm across there?
01:09:55Well, if you can skip away while there's nobody looking,
01:09:57there's a lane that leads down to the probably road.
01:10:00It's your only hope.
01:10:01Ah, but what a hope.
01:10:03But you must get away while there's still time.
01:10:05Look here, I've had enough of this.
01:10:06I promised to keep my mouth shut under certain conditions.
01:10:09But he's hurt.
01:10:10And the conditions were not that you should go fussing over this little squirt.
01:10:13Who said I was a squirt?
01:10:15I did.
01:10:16I thought it is.
01:10:17He's worth a hundred of you any day.
01:10:19Oh, is he?
01:10:20Well, that's settled it.
01:10:22I've kept quiet long enough.
01:10:23No, please, don't tell them.
01:10:24I hope they give him nine months.
01:10:26Oh.
01:10:26Nine months, you said six.
01:10:27Go and stop him.
01:10:28Well, I'll see what I can do.
01:10:29But you must get away quickly.
01:10:30He's more important than ever now.
01:10:31Absolutely.
01:10:32Good luck.
01:10:41What, everyone?
01:10:43All right.
01:10:44All right.
01:10:45Wilson, take care of Chuck.
01:10:46See, they're tied under the wheels.
01:10:47Starboard wingship, you.
01:10:49Force wingship.
01:10:50Clark, you pick your arms.
01:10:51Right, darling.
01:10:52Where the devil are you going?
01:10:54I was going, I was...
01:10:55Help Clark with the bombs here.
01:10:56Yes, sir.
01:11:00Cool. What a landing. See that, George? Only an ace pirate could get her down without crashing.
01:11:05Yeah. What's the matter with you all of a sudden?
01:11:07What do you want to keep on turning your head around for?
01:11:09Well, I've got a ball in the back of my neck and the doctor should have to keep my eyes
01:11:12on it.
01:11:13Yeah. Here. Hold this.
01:11:15Hey! Careful! Careful! It's like explosive!
01:11:18Hey! Take it away!
01:11:28Larry! Careful there! Careful! Get over here with me! Take it over here!
01:11:33Go on!
01:11:36Hold it! Hold it!
01:11:38Have you told him yet?
01:11:39Of course I have. Now pick it to be reasonable.
01:11:56How's it going, Sheriff? Oh, fine, thanks.
01:11:59Oh, this is Corporate Craig. He'll be your operator.
01:12:02Morning. I'll check out her gear, sir. Perhaps you'll rub her up for a test.
01:12:05Okay. Give me a shot when you're ready.
01:12:06Very good.
01:12:08Hey, sir. Scoot down.
01:12:11Hey, you've got a finger in it. Take your finger out.
01:12:13Daddy, you must let him go. He didn't mean any harm, honestly.
01:12:17What? Neglecting me duties? Certainly not.
01:12:18I wouldn't even if I liked him.
01:12:20But, Daddy, I love him.
01:12:22What? Him?
01:12:23Yes.
01:12:25Nonsense. You're just putting this on to try and save him.
01:12:27No, no, I'm not. Honestly, I'm not.
01:12:29Come in.
01:12:31Sir Philip is just arriving, sir.
01:12:33All right, all right.
01:12:33Present on!
01:12:41Morning, Phil.
01:12:42Morning, sir.
01:12:42This is my...
01:12:43Oh!
01:12:44Has the new aeroplane arrived?
01:12:45Just this minute.
01:12:46This is the shortest way to the tarmac, sir.
01:12:48Yes, I can tell that by the new paint on the railings, isn't it?
01:12:50No, I think we'll go this way.
01:12:51And en route, I'd like to have a look at the men in their barrack room.
01:12:54Yes, sir.
01:12:54Do something.
01:12:55Get busy, Sergeant Major.
01:12:56Get the men in their barrack rooms at once.
01:12:57Thank you, sir.
01:12:58Bombs and avenues and loaded, sir.
01:13:00Good.
01:13:00Sir Philip wishes to inspect the men in the barrack, sir.
01:13:03Into the barrack room, all of you.
01:13:04If it's not cleaned up until the time I arrive, you'll be fired.
01:13:07Come on.
01:13:08What are you waiting for?
01:13:09Into the barrack room.
01:13:13Come on, into the barrack room, I said.
01:13:14Now, come on.
01:13:15Come on.
01:13:15Come to it, all of you.
01:13:16Hurry up, those men.
01:13:17Oh, that's you, too.
01:13:20Come on, now.
01:13:21Hurry up.
01:13:30Here.
01:13:31Didn't you get my message?
01:13:32Yes.
01:13:32Then what are you doing here?
01:13:33You might ask yourself that.
01:13:34Me?
01:13:35Yes, you coming back and spoil everything.
01:13:37You both of us will get in the neck now.
01:13:38But I've done nothing.
01:13:40Well, what about the letter you should have delivered?
01:13:41It was never meant to be delivered.
01:13:42It was a duplicate for reference only.
01:13:44What?
01:13:45Do you mean, sir, then I've...
01:13:46Ah, George, look.
01:13:47I know you're only trying to help, and I'm grateful.
01:13:49But now I've got to try and help you.
01:13:50A fine way of doing it.
01:13:52Look, don't you realize that every day you keep that uniform on you make the crime worse?
01:13:55You've probably already earned yourself about 12 months.
01:13:586, 9, 12.
01:13:59Good Lord, I'll be here all my life if I don't get away.
01:14:01Yes, well, Harry, I've got to go and report.
01:14:03Oh.
01:14:03Good luck.
01:14:04I'll need it.
01:14:05I'm all ready for granted, sir, sir.
01:14:06Right, I'll run her up on her telephone.
01:14:07But, sir, is there anything wrong?
01:14:09It won't be much time to put her right.
01:14:11All right.
01:14:19Hey, you!
01:14:22Come here!
01:14:25Here, just a minute, come here.
01:14:26Run up the engine while I telephone with you.
01:14:28Run her up!
01:14:29Yes, they want to test the radio.
01:14:30Well, couldn't you get somebody else?
01:14:32I've...
01:14:32It's all right.
01:14:33It's just like any other engine.
01:14:34I know, but I've got...
01:14:35The chocks are in position.
01:14:36It's quite safe.
01:14:37You don't understand.
01:14:38Don't dither.
01:14:38I'm in a hurry.
01:14:39Look, the throttle's on this side.
01:14:41But be careful how you get hold of the joystick.
01:14:43Be careful, sir.
01:14:44Yes, you might press the trigger of one of the machine guns.
01:14:46That'd be wrong, sir.
01:14:47It would rather.
01:14:48Particularly as it's loaded with live ammunition.
01:14:50A little ring.
01:14:50Up, up!
01:14:58Up!
01:15:01Up!
01:15:07Up!
01:15:09Up!
01:15:16All ready, sir!
01:15:43Let's go.
01:15:47Stop it.
01:15:48I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.
01:15:58Oh!
01:16:02Do that!
01:16:04Hey!
01:16:06Oh, oh, oh!
01:16:09Get it away, get it away, get it away!
01:16:11You're nothing!
01:16:15Hey!
01:16:17Aha!
01:16:18Never touch me!
01:16:21Parents have no time for a ground test.
01:16:23We're already in the air.
01:16:25Can you hear me okay?
01:16:30Hello, sir.
01:16:31He's taken off.
01:16:31Why?
01:16:32Probably some misunderstanding.
01:16:33Well, never mind.
01:16:34I'm all ready.
01:16:40Oh, my God!
01:16:50There's a wreck, isn't there?
01:16:51Well, I suppose the fact that I'm watching him, you know.
01:16:54Oh!
01:16:55Oh!
01:16:58He's passing the message that I am watching, waiting to see what he can do.
01:17:01Yes, certainly, sir.
01:17:02Can I get?
01:17:02No, I got myself.
01:17:06Come here, get the stretchers.
01:17:20Hello, Glenbridge calling. I have a message for you.
01:17:23Sir Philip's ready and wants you to show him all you know.
01:17:30This is from Sir Philip. Show him all you know.
01:17:33I don't do anything.
01:17:36How?
01:17:37Oh, look at me.
01:17:42Come on, stick steady.
01:17:52Have you ever known before?
01:17:55I'm here.
01:17:59The fool is different.
01:18:03What a pilot.
01:18:04Brilliant.
01:18:09Get me out of here.
01:18:11Get me out.
01:18:20The pilot's certainly doing his stuff.
01:18:22Yes, sir.
01:18:22Look here, sir.
01:18:23Who the devil are you?
01:18:24The pilot of that machine.
01:18:25Oh.
01:18:26What?
01:18:26One of your mechanics took off while I was telephoning.
01:18:28Which mechanic?
01:18:29I don't know.
01:18:30A fellow with a face like a horse and a row of teeth like a graveyard.
01:18:32Oh, this is terrible.
01:18:41Oh, this is the...
01:18:51Ma'am.
01:18:52Oh, I will.
01:18:58Oh, I won't.
01:18:59Now, I have one.
01:18:59Oh, I just...
01:19:00Oh, let me go.
01:19:01Oh, let me go for a second.
01:19:01Oh.
01:19:01Oh, my god.
01:19:02Oh, I like my...
01:19:02When Sir Philip hears about this, we shall all be court-martialed.
01:19:04What the hell are we going to do?
01:19:05Pass instructions and hope for the best, sir.
01:19:07Now, somehow, we've got to get that man down and have him arrested without Sir Philip knowing.
01:19:10Now, go and get busy.
01:19:11Now, listen carefully. I'm going to pass instructions for landing.
01:19:15Do you think I'm going to sit here while he tries to land?
01:19:17You're all damn well mistaken.
01:19:19Now, there's no need to panic. Just keep your heads.
01:19:27Now, listen carefully. I'm going to pass instructions for landing.
01:19:31Those are your friends wishing you luck.
01:19:33Sorry, I can't stop. I have an urgent appointment.
01:19:41Oh, he's going to let me...
01:19:45Who told the operator to jump out?
01:19:46He'd heard about enough, sir.
01:19:48Enough? We should consider it an honor to fly with such a pilot.
01:19:50Oh, right, sir. Right. Now, we can't pass on the orders.
01:19:53We're sunk.
01:20:01Come on! Come on, come on, come on!
01:20:05Come on, come on, come on!
01:20:08Bless my soul!
01:20:19If Corporal Craig left his helmet behind her, the pilot should be able to hear the instructions.
01:20:25If you can hear me, push your stick to one side and lower the wing.
01:20:36Oh!
01:20:37The land is strange!
01:20:44There's nothing here all right.
01:20:48Sir Philip is delighted, sir.
01:20:50What?
01:20:51I must know the pilot's name.
01:20:52Whatever happens, he mustn't.
01:20:54Why not, sir?
01:20:54Now, listen.
01:20:57Oh!
01:20:58Oh!
01:20:59Oh!
01:21:00Oh!
01:21:00Oh!
01:21:01Oh!
01:21:06Oh!
01:21:07Oh!
01:21:07Oh!
01:21:08Oh!
01:21:09Oh!
01:21:10Oh!
01:21:12Oh!
01:21:16Oh!
01:21:25What a marksman, too!
01:21:25Order out the spare ambulance.
01:21:26Yes.
01:21:27Put back the lever on the left.
01:21:28Oh, I don't know right to play for which, is it?
01:21:44Oh, and what a marksman, too.
01:21:47Come on, there might be something left of him.
01:21:51What's that, lad?
01:21:52Hatter, that half-wit of yours is at the controls.
01:21:55Oh, but what are you going to do?
01:21:56Order a spare ambulance.
01:22:00Oh, do something, do something.
01:22:02It's no good, he doesn't even know left and right.
01:22:04Well, then try right and left.
01:22:05Now, listen carefully.
01:22:06Push forward the lever on your left.
01:22:14They just stopped, mother. They just stopped.
01:22:16It'll fall. It'll fall.
01:22:18Oh!
01:22:20He's turned off the petrol.
01:22:23Now he's for it.
01:22:27I think I can make him understand.
01:22:29Oh, please, may I try?
01:22:30Oh!
01:22:33George, this is Peggy speaking.
01:22:36Yes?
01:22:36Tell him to turn on the petrol.
01:22:38The tap on the left.
01:22:39Turn on the tap on the side of your bandaged finger.
01:22:57It's worked.
01:22:58Can we get him back to earth safely?
01:23:00He keeps his head and does what he's told.
01:23:01There's just a hope.
01:23:02You're going to try to land him?
01:23:03Of course.
01:23:04Oh, it's hopeless. He's bound his mash.
01:23:06Oh, but he must.
01:23:07Get hold of the villain.
01:23:08Take him into the mess.
01:23:09Tell him the test's over.
01:23:10Tell him anything you'd like.
01:23:11But he must not see this madman trying to land.
01:23:12I'll do my best, sir.
01:23:21The test is over now, sir.
01:23:22I'm sure you'd like some refreshments.
01:23:23No, I want to wait till the plane lands.
01:23:28Is the stick back?
01:23:30He's the stick back.
01:23:37No, not so much, no.
01:23:38No, no, no, not so much.
01:23:42Oh, I can't stand it.
01:23:43I'll leave it to you.
01:23:46Ambulances and power engines ready, sir.
01:23:48Hospital standing by.
01:23:49Mortuary open?
01:23:49Yes, sir.
01:23:50Good.
01:23:53Who bent the paddle?
01:23:54On the bandaged side.
01:23:59Oh, it's a paddle. I'm falling.
01:24:06Oh, oh.
01:24:18Keep everything just as it is and hold tight.
01:24:29Look out.
01:24:42I'll have him arrested, yes.
01:24:52Oh, George, are you all right?
01:24:54Just a while.
01:24:54You're under arrest.
01:24:55Oh, no, Dad, you can't do that now.
01:24:57No, I didn't go.
01:24:58Here, you.
01:24:59And you.
01:25:00Oh, Dad.
01:25:00I was going to...
01:25:01I was going to...
01:25:01I was going to...
01:25:02I was going to...
01:25:02I was going to...
01:25:03I mean, dear.
01:25:04I can't...
01:25:05The Senate's finished the whole bottle, sir.
01:25:06Good.
01:25:07And now he's telephoning headquarters recommending the pilot for promotion, sir.
01:25:10Promotion, eh?
01:25:11Promotion?
01:25:12Why, he's not even in the Air Force.
01:25:14I was afraid of that, sir.
01:25:15Here, out of my way.
01:25:17What's it broke?
01:25:18Nothing.
01:25:19Nothing?
01:25:19What do you think we care to the threat rule this white boy?
01:25:21That's your funeral.
01:25:22Oh, is it?
01:25:27What the devil are you doing with that airman?
01:25:28He's not an airman, sir.
01:25:29Of course he's an airman.
01:25:30Let him go.
01:25:31Or if he isn't by tomorrow morning, the Air Force will be short of a Sergeant Major.
01:25:35You mean that I can join the Air Force and learn the flight properly?
01:25:38Certainly, my boy.
01:25:38Certainly.
01:25:39It's in the air, this funny feeling everywhere, that makes me sing without a care today, as
01:25:50I go on my way, it's in the air.
01:25:54It's in the air.
01:25:56It's in the air.
01:25:57There's a swimming time and here and there.
01:26:01The sun is shining everywhere, and spring makes everybody sing, it's in the air.
01:26:10Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, high and low.
01:26:14Zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
01:26:15Here we go, it's in the air.
01:26:18Here we go, it's in the air.
01:26:23Here we go, it's in the air.
01:26:30Hey, hey, hey.
