00:29Satsang with Mooji
02:32I know you're in there, Bersie. I can hear you whistling.
02:37Who is that?
02:39Who's that?
02:40It's Jeeves.
02:41Oh, it's Cyril Fungie Phipps.
02:45Barmy?
02:46Steady on, Jeeves.
02:49Come on in, quick. Come on, come on.
02:57Most extraordinary thing. I was talking to your man Jeeves a second ago.
03:01No, no, it was me.
03:02Oh, he said he was Jeeves.
03:04No, it was me. I was pretending to be Jeeves.
03:06Oh, I see.
03:08Jolly good. Why?
03:10Oh, well, I do want my Aunt Dahlia to know that I'm here.
03:12I had a bit of a set two down at her place.
03:19No, no, don't answer it.
03:21I wasn't going to.
03:22No, you see, she'll be regretting it now.
03:23She'll be begging me to come back and sort things out.
03:28No, answer it.
03:29Pretend it'd be Jeeves.
03:30How?
03:31Well, just sort of say your Jeeves.
03:34Right.
03:41Mr. Worcester's residence?
03:45Where is Mr. Worcester?
03:47He's not at home, sir.
03:49I'm Jeeves.
03:51What do you mean, you think not?
03:56Oh.
04:00Who was it?
04:01Jeeves.
04:03Oh.
04:05Where was he?
04:06Just round the corner.
04:08Ah, sent as an emissary, no doubt.
04:10Well, no, I'm sorry, but one can only do so much.
04:12What's an emissary?
04:14It's something that's sent.
04:16So what are you doing here, Barmy, anyway?
04:17Nothing, really.
04:18Just came in for a smoke.
04:20Hope you don't mind.
04:21No, smoke away, Barmy.
04:23Smoke away.
04:31Get out.
04:35Get out.
04:55We've got to bet on how long we can go without smoking.
04:58My doctor says it's better for me anyway.
05:02Good morning, Mr. Fungy Phipps.
05:04Morning, Jeeves.
05:06Mr. Worcester?
05:07Morning, Jeeves.
05:09I'm just making some tea.
05:11Really, sir?
05:12Perhaps I could be...
05:13No, no, no, no, no.
05:13I may as well do it now that I've started.
05:15I've got quite used to looking after myself.
05:17It's surprising, is it not, sir, how much one can assimilate in a day?
05:20Mm.
05:20Now, Jeeves, it says here it's best to use soft water, but that after boiling it may
05:25again become hard.
05:26Well, I mean, that's ice, isn't it?
05:28And now, it says here that one, yes, that's right, one teaspoonful per person and one for
05:33the pot.
05:34Well, I mean, what does the pot get one?
05:36If you'd allow me, sir.
05:42A cup of tea, Balmy?
05:43Love one.
05:50All right, Jeeves, get on with it.
05:52So?
05:53It is obvious, to the meanest intelligence, Jeeves, that you have been dispatched here
05:57by my esteemed Aunt Dahlia to plead with me to come back to Brinkley.
06:01The same old emotional quagmire down there, I suppose, yes.
06:05Tuppy grinding his teeth, Angela aloof, Uncle Tom off his feed, Madeline off her head, and
06:11Fignottle trembling at the thought of this prize-giving.
06:13Well, I'm sorry, Jeeves, but Mrs Travers will just have to sort this whole thing out herself,
06:17this time.
06:17Very good, sir.
06:18I was, in fact, sent to try to persuade Monsieur Anatole to return, sir.
06:23Anatole the cook, Jeeves?
06:24Yes, sir.
06:27Well, not to persuade me back to Brinkley to restore peace and harmony to the inhabitants?
06:33Mrs Travers made no mention of it, sir.
06:37Well, of all the nerve, Jeeves, and this is what they call gratitude, is it?
06:42I really couldn't say, sir.
06:44Well, I don't think I'm going too far, Jeeves, when I say that this just about takes the giddy
06:48biscuit.
06:49Very good, sir.
06:50Well, I shall return to Brinkley in Stanto, Jeeves, and give the whole bunch of them a good
06:54talking to, starting with that idiot Tuppy.
06:59If you want to try the Turkish, they're in the silver box.
07:02Oh, right-ho, Bersi.
07:04Toodle-pip.
07:05Cheerio.
07:10Ah.
07:11Ah.
07:13You're not going out, are you?
07:15Well, I am, Wolfie.
07:15How can I help you?
07:16Well, I wanted to have a smoke.
07:19Ah, say no more, Wolfie.
07:21My house is your house.
07:23I've got this bet on with Balmy.
07:25No, see.
07:26No need to explain a thing, Wolfie.
07:27If you want to try the Turkish, they're in the silver box.
07:35Ah!
07:37Ah!
07:51Am I not somebody, Mr. Jeeves?
07:54Undoubtedly, Monsieur Anatole.
07:55Then why they are making against me like bad peoples, hm?
07:59Delicious, Valloutier, Fleur de Courgette.
08:01Monsieur Anatole himself taught me to make it.
08:04When he first stayed at our little hotel.
08:07Ah, but madame has got the good of me many times over.
08:11Oh.
08:11A little more, perhaps, for Mr. Jeeves?
08:16We have a duty to look after our ladies and gentlemen, Monsieur Anatole.
08:20Look after?
08:22Am I the nursing?
08:24Am I the Nancy for the kiddies?
08:26No.
08:27This is not kiddies.
08:28No, no, no, no, no.
08:29Kiddies is nice.
08:31Kiddies is not stopping with the eats.
08:33Kiddies is not saying to us, chap.
08:35Poof!
08:36We not like you no more.
08:38We not eat your combustibles.
08:40Since time immemorial, Monsieur Anatole, it has fallen to the Gallic races to bring civilization to the rude northerly provinces
08:48of their empire.
08:49Oh, it's true.
08:51Anatole is civilian.
08:53Anatole is nice.
08:55It hasn't always been easy.
08:57Sometimes it has seemed impossible.
09:00But...
09:03Up to the time she went to Cannes, Angela loved me.
09:06You'll admit that.
09:07Oh, indisputably.
09:08But when she came back, she was just looking for an excuse to get rid of me.
09:13No, no, no, no.
09:15What would you want to get rid of you for?
09:16Well, obviously, during those two months, she's transferred her affections to some foul blister she's met out there.
09:22No, no.
09:23No, no, no.
09:25Well, I'll tell you one thing, and you can take this as official.
09:29If ever I find this slimy snake in the grass, I propose to take him by his beastly neck, shake
09:35him till he froths, and then pull him inside out and make him swallow himself.
09:39All right?
09:41My dear Tuppy, during those two months on the Riviera, it so happens that Angela and I were practically inseparable.
09:50If there had been somebody nosing around, I should have spotted it in a second.
09:55I see.
09:59So, no mixed bathing and moonlight strolls?
10:02No, no, no, no.
10:03Well, only with me.
10:04It was quite a joke at the hotel.
10:06But then I've always been devoted to Angela.
10:09Really?
10:09Oh, yes, yes.
10:11When we were kids, she used to call me her little sweetheart.
10:24Ah, you're back.
10:27You're back.
10:29Welcome.
10:30Welcome, Monsieur Anatol.
10:32We have no more stopping with eating, I think.
10:35Ha, ha, ha.
10:37I get my bagage.
10:39Jeans.
10:41I can never thank you sufficiently.
10:43Never.
10:44You've saved my husband's digestion.
10:46What I want, Dahlia?
10:48I didn't know that your master was back, Jeeves.
10:52Has he no mercy?
10:59Jeeves.
11:00Suppose that you were strolling through the illimitable jungle and you happened to meet a tiger cub.
11:07The contingency is a remote one, sir.
11:10Never mind.
11:11Let us suppose it.
11:12Very good, sir.
11:13Let us now suppose that you biffed that tiger cub.
11:16And let us further suppose that word reached its mother that you've done so.
11:20Now, what would you expect the attitude of that mother to be?
11:24In the circumstances, I should anticipate a certain show of disapprobation, sir.
11:28Oh, yes.
11:29Very good, Jeeves.
11:29Very well put.
11:31Now, let us suppose that recently there'd been some little coolness between the tiger cub and the tigress.
11:38I don't know.
11:39For a day or two, perhaps, they'd not been on speaking terms.
11:42Now, do you think this would make any difference to the vim with which the latter would leap to the
11:46former's aid?
11:47No, sir.
11:48No.
11:48Ah.
11:49Well, here then, in brief, is my plan.
11:52I will draw my cousin Angela to one side to a secluded spot and I shall roast Tuppy properly.
11:58Roast, sir?
11:59Um.
12:00Disparage.
12:01Knock.
12:02Uh.
12:02Decry.
12:03Denounce.
12:03I shall be very terse about Tuppy, giving it as my opinion that, in all the essentials,
12:08he is more akin to a warthog than an ex-member of a fine old school.
12:15And what will ensue?
12:16What indeed, sir?
12:18Uh.
12:19No, Jeeves.
12:19That was one of those, um, what's-it questions.
12:22Rhetorical, sir?
12:23Right.
12:23Yes.
12:24Now, hearing him attacked, my cousin Angela's heart will become as sick as mud.
12:29The maternal tigress in her will awaken.
12:31And no matter what differences they may have had, she will remember only that he is the man she loves
12:36and she will leap to his defence.
12:37And from there to falling into his arms is but a step.
12:41So, how do you react to that, Jeeves?
12:42The idea is an ingenious one, sir.
12:45Well, we Worcesters are ingenious.
12:47Noted for it.
12:48But if one thing gives us the pip, it's the sight of two loving hearts being estranged.
12:52I can readily appreciate it, sir.
12:54Now, I'm not speaking without knowledge of the form book, you know, on this one.
12:57I've tested this theory.
12:59Indeed, sir.
12:59Hmm.
13:00Oh, yes.
13:01And it works.
13:03I was standing on Eden Rock in Antibes last month and a girl I know slightly pointed to this fellow
13:10diving into the water and asked me if I didn't think that his legs were about the silliest looking pair
13:15of props ever issued to a human being.
13:17Well, I agreed that indeed they were and for perhaps a couple of minutes I was extraordinarily witty and satirical
13:27about this bird's underpinnings.
13:29And guess what happened next?
13:31I am a gog to learn, sir.
13:34A cyclone is what happened next, Jeeves, emanating from this girl.
13:38She started on my own legs, saying that they weren't much to write home about, and then she moved on
13:43to dissect my manners, morals, intellect, general physique, and method of eating asparagus.
13:51By the time she'd finished, the best that could be said about poor old Bertram was that, so far as
13:55was known, he hadn't actually burnt down an orphanage.
13:59Most illuminating story, sir.
14:02No, no, no, no, no, Jeeves, Jeeves.
14:04You haven't had the payoff yet.
14:06Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
14:08The structure of your tale deceived me for a moment into thinking that it was over.
14:13No, no, no, the point is that she was actually engaged to this fellow with the legs.
14:18They'd had some minor disagreement the night before, but there they were the following night, dining together, their differences made
14:24up, and the love light once more in their eyes.
14:27And I expect much the same results with my cousin Angela.
14:30I look forward to it with lively anticipation, sir.
14:39Care for a saunter, Angela old girl?
14:41Love to, Bertie darling.
14:42Good old.
14:44Shhh!
14:45Tom's listening to the news.
14:50i have much to say that's not for the public ear
15:00bertie darling this grass is awfully wet it'll ruin my shoes well put your feet on my lap all
15:06right you can tickle my ankles right now angela what about you and tuppy is it true what i hear
15:15that the wedding bells are not going to ring out yes definitely over a definitely well if you want
15:22my opinion it's a bit of goose for you old girl it's a mystery to me how you stood this
15:26gloss up
15:26for so long is that an animal in the bush over there bertie it's sort of rustled yeah it's probably
15:32a weasel or something no taken all in all this gloss up ranks very low down among the wines and
15:38spirits frightful like i always thought you were such friends what friend no no no no no no no
15:44absolutely not no no one was civil of course but uh in addition to looking like one of those things
15:49that come out of hollow trees uh he's universally acknowledged to be a dumb brick of the first water
15:55no soul no conversation nothing yes yes you're quite right eh it's so nice to talk to someone
16:03who takes a sensible view about this gloss up well he's conceited and opinionated he drinks too much
16:10eats too much and i don't much like the color of his hair
16:16i'm going in
16:20um goodbye bertie
16:24so
16:25ah tuppy old chap
16:27so
16:29i've been here long long enough and in about two seconds i'm going to kick your spine up to the
16:33top of your head
16:34under my eye
16:35ah yes um i i think i know what's on your mind tuppy um if you were in those bushes
16:41during the
16:42conversation with the recent angela i was you were you were right good um yes well we won't go into
16:47the
16:47ethics of the thing um eavesdropping some people might call it a bit unenglish tuppy i think you must admit
16:51i'm scots really i didn't know that
16:53oh no no look now look tuppy tuppy it was a plan what are you talking about
16:59well if it wasn't a plan why would i knock you to angela because you're in love with her yourself
17:04i rest my case
17:07what no someone stole her from me in camp you told me yourself she was with you all the time
17:13and hardly spoke to anybody else
17:14uh no no now now tuppy look you look you've got this all wrong and i can
17:18well and i can prove it now during that sojourning can my affections were engaged elsewhere what my
17:24affections engaged elsewhere during that sojourn well who was she my dear tuppy does one bandy a
17:30woman's name oh one does if one doesn't want one's runny head pulled off well yes right yes well
17:35obviously this is a uh a special case madeline bassett you're in love with that weird gourd helpers
17:42bassett well i don't think you should call her a weird gourd helpers tuppy odd in some of her views
17:48perhaps one does not quite see eye to eye with her in the matter of stars and bunny rabbits but
17:53not
17:53a weird gourd helpers and you stick to it that you're in love with her it is not 24 hours
18:00since
18:01she turned me down turned you down like a bedspread in this very garden so you'll readily see that i
18:07can't be the chap if any who stole angela from you in can well because your affections
18:12were engaged elsewhere during that sojourn oh i see all right then sorry to have troubled you
18:35it wasn't just you what about the things angela said well she obviously spotted you in those
18:42bushes and was just talking to score off you she adores you tuppy she worships the ground you tread on
18:49the road you're out of bed but if you should see mr gloss up perhaps you would give him these
18:55it's nearly six o'clock and he hasn't eaten a morsel since tea
18:59oh i know i'll put them down here they'll be easier for him to reach
19:06It's like leaving food out for a little animal, isn't it?
19:14Angela!
19:20How still and peaceful everything is.
19:40Jeeves, I have decided that Tuppy and Miss Angela will have to disentangle their own affairs.
19:45Today is the day for finally clearing up the whole Gussie Miss Bassett imbroglio.
19:49Indeed, sir.
19:51Where we've been falling down in the past is in not keeping it to the forefront of our minds
19:55that in Gussie Fignottel what we are dealing with is a poop.
19:58A sensitive plant might perhaps be a kinder description, sir.
20:01A poop, Jeeves.
20:03And what's more, a poop who drinks nothing stronger than orange juice.
20:07I was not aware of that, sir.
20:09Oh, yes, Jeeves, I've had it from his own lips.
20:11Whether from some hereditary taint or because he promised his mother he wouldn't.
20:16Gussie Fignottel has never pushed so much as the simplest gin and tonic over the larynx.
20:20And he expects, this poop expects, Jeeves, under these conditions,
20:24to propose marriage to the girl he loves.
20:27Well, I mean, what hardly knows whether to smile or weep.
20:30What?
20:31You consider total abstinence to be a handicap in a gentleman wishing to make a proposal of marriage, sir?
20:37Oh, dash it, Jeeves. Use your intelligence.
20:40Were it not for the juice of the grape and the grain, weddings would be a thing of the past.
20:44Proposals but a dim memory.
20:46Without it, Jeeves, we babble.
20:53Thank you, Jeeves.
20:56Only active measures promptly applied can prevent this poor poop Fignottel from babbling about newts again.
21:03Which is why I intend to secure a bottle of gin and lace his luncheon orange juice with it.
21:10Sir?
21:12I can't imagine why you sir, Jeeves.
21:15The plan I've put forward seems to me to be icily logical.
21:19I fail to see why it should attract any sirring.
21:21No, sir.
21:26Let us hear your objections then, Jeeves.
21:28A certain amount of risk is inherent in your stratagem, sir.
21:32It is not always a simple matter to gauge the effect of alcohol on a subject previously unexposed to such
21:38stimulants.
21:39It can have distressing results in the case of parrots.
21:42Parrots?
21:43I'm thinking of an incident when I was in the service of the late Lord Brancaster, a gentleman who owned
21:48a parrot.
21:49One day it happened that the bird was lethargic, sir, and his lordship offered it a portion of seed cake
21:55steeped in the 84 port.
21:57Good egg.
21:58The bird bit his lordship on his thumb and sang part of a sea shanty.
22:03It then fell to the bottom of its cage and remained there for some considerable period of time with its
22:09legs in the air unable to move.
22:11I merely mention this, sir.
22:13There's a floor here, Jeeves.
22:15Do you know what it is?
22:16No, sir.
22:18Gussie isn't a parrot.
22:20True, sir, but...
22:22No more discussion, Jeeves.
22:23He's a poop.
22:24Very good, sir.
22:33You noticed I said I was going to put this project through today, Jeeves?
22:37Why do you think I said today?
22:39Because you feel that if it were done when tis done, then too well it were done quickly, sir?
22:44Partly, Jeeves.
22:45Yes, partly.
22:46But the chief reason is that today is the day of the prize-giving at Market Snodsbury Grammar School.
22:51We shall, by lacing the juice, not only embolden him to propose to Miss Bassett, but also put him so
22:56into shape that he will hold that Market Snodsbury audience spellbound.
23:00I see, sir.
23:01No, sir.
23:02No, sir.
23:03No, sir.
23:04No, sir.
23:05No, sir.
23:05No, sir.
23:05No, sir.
23:06No, sir.
23:06No, sir.
23:06No, sir.
23:07No, sir.
23:08No, sir.
23:08No, sir.
23:08No, sir.
23:08No, sir.
23:08No, sir.
23:09No, sir.
23:10No, sir.
23:11No, sir.
23:12No, sir.
23:23No, sir.
23:31Oh, my God.
24:06Oh, my God.
24:09Oh, my God.
24:10Oh, my God.
24:14Oh, my God.
24:16Oh, my God.
24:45Oh, my God.
24:53Oh, my God.
24:57Oh, my God.
25:32Oh, my God.
25:36Oh, my God.
25:44Oh, my God.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:28Oh, my God.
26:31Oh, my God.
26:32Hey, all right, sit down, sit down.
26:36Now, anybody who says this isn't a beautiful world doesn't know what they're talking about.
26:42You see, if there's one thing in the world I can't stand, it's a pessimist.
26:49See, a pessimist is a man who...
26:53Why, hello, Bertie. I didn't know you were here.
26:59Now, there's an instance of what I mean.
27:01Uh, ladies and... what's it?
27:04Take a good look at that object sitting there at the back.
27:07Uh, morning coat, trousers is worn, moldy-rosin button. Oh, you can't miss it.
27:12I despise that man, women and children.
27:15And shall I tell you why? Eh? Because he...
27:19Uh, I think, uh, Mr. Fignottle, as, uh, as time is getting on, I think perhaps we ought to, uh,
27:24commence the prizes.
27:26Oh! It's you!
27:29Uh, the prizes! Yes, right, uh. Might as well be shoving along with it. What's this one?
27:35Spelling and dictation, P.K. Purvis.
27:40Forward, P.K. Purvis.
27:42Forward, P.K. Purvis.
27:46You P.K. Purvis?
27:48Yes, sir.
27:53It's a beautiful world, P.K. Purvis.
27:56Yes, sir.
27:57Ah! You've noticed it, have you? Good.
28:01You married by any chance?
28:03No, sir.
28:04Get married, P.K. Purvis. It's the only life.
28:07Yes, sir.
28:08Good boy.
28:16Right, headmaster, what's the next one?
28:18G.G. Simmons, scripture knowledge.
28:21G.G. Simmons, scripture knowledge.
28:30Sir, you've won the scripture knowledge prize, have you, G.G. Simmons?
28:35Sir, yes, sir.
28:36Yes.
28:37You looked as a sort of little tick who would.
28:40And yet, how are we to know that you came by it in an open and above-board manner?
28:45I can assure you, Mr. Fignottel, every care was taken to ensure a correct marking.
28:51Well, if you say so.
28:53All right, G.G. Simmons, take your prize.
28:55Sir, thank you, sir.
28:56But let me tell you, there's nothing to stick on sight about in winning a prize for scripture knowledge.
29:02Bertie Worcester won a scripture knowledge prize, but, of course, Bertie frankly cheated.
29:08He succeeded in scranging that scripture knowledge prize over the heads of better men.
29:14By means of some of the worst and most brazen swindling methods.
29:20Even at a school where such things were the norm.
29:24Bertie.
29:28Bertie.
29:38Madeline!
29:39Madeline?
29:43You would have been surprised to learn, Jeeves, that Madeline and Gessie are no longer engaged
29:48after the fiasco of the prize giving.
29:50Was there much more after I left?
29:52No sir.
29:53Mr. Finknottle's inflamed cerebral condition brought about an early closure.
29:57He returned to the theme of Master G.G. Simmons and his scripture knowledge prize, hinting at systematic cheating on
30:06an impressive scale.
30:07He even went so far as to suggest that Master Simmons is well known to the police.
30:12Oh, golly.
30:13Yes, sir.
30:13Not our finest hour, Jeeves.
30:15No, sir.
30:18Door, Jeeves?
30:20Yes, sir.
30:22That may be Mr. Fingnottle now.
30:25Oh, it's not you.
30:27Hello, Tubby.
30:28Mr. Glossop.
30:31If you'll excuse me, sir.
30:35You remember what I swore I'd do to the chap who stole Angela from me?
30:39Well, as nearly as I can recall, you were going to pull him inside out.
30:43And make him swallow himself, correct.
30:45Well, the programme holds good for the newt bloke.
30:49The newt bloke?
30:50Gussie.
30:51The serpent, Finknottle.
30:53But Gussie loves Madeleine Bassett.
30:55Oh, you can't all love this blasted Bassett.
30:58It astonishes me how anybody could love her.
31:01No, Finknottle loves Angela, and she loves him.
31:04Oh, that is absurd.
31:07Absurd, is it?
31:08Well, then perhaps you'll kindly explain to me how she happens to be engaged to him.
31:13Engaged?
31:15Tubby, you could knock me down with an F.
31:18There must be some mistake.
31:20There is.
31:21The snake Finknottle's just made it.
31:34Ah, there you are.
31:39Where are all the staff tonight, you know?
31:41They've gone over to the staff dance at Kingham Manor.
31:43Ah.
31:51So, it appears that you've gone and got engaged to the Gussie.
31:54Quite right.
31:55We're in love.
31:57Oh, come now, Angela.
32:00Gussie's...
32:00Gussie's a splendid chap in many ways.
32:02If you've got a sick newt on your hands, well, Gussie's just the fellow to tell you what to do
32:07until the doctor comes.
32:08But, honestly, old thing, you could fling bricks by the half hour in England's most densely populated districts without hitting
32:14one girl willing to become Mrs. Finknottle without a general anaesthetic.
32:18Well, I thought it would be fun.
32:21Well, I'm surprised at you, young Angela.
32:23No wonder they say, oh, woman, woman.
32:25Who do?
32:27Well, chaps, mostly.
32:29You know you're potty about tuppy.
32:30For goodness sake, Bertie, go away and boil your head.
32:34Well, now, Angela, if you'll permit me to observe.
32:36No.
32:39Very well, then.
32:41I shall say no more.
32:47Just...
32:50Tickety-talk.
32:54I say, Jeeves, do you know what's happened?
32:57Mr. Finknottle has got himself engaged to my cousin Angela.
33:01Gentlemen who are discarded by one young lady are apt to attach themselves without delay to another, sir.
33:07It is what is known as a gesture.
33:09My Uncle George.
33:10Oh, never mind your Uncle George, Jeeves.
33:12Never, sir.
33:13Save him for the long winter evenings, eh?
33:14Just as you say, sir.
33:15We must concentrate on rescuing Gussie.
33:17Go forth and scour the neighbourhood.
33:19I don't think that will be necessary, sir.
33:22Mr. Finknottle is here.
33:25Mr. Finknottle, sir.
33:28Gussie?
33:32Is that door locked?
33:34Yes, sir.
33:40Let me in, Blast, you!
33:43I've got this door!
33:48What's going on?
33:52Are you in there?
33:54What do you think you're doing?
33:57Listen, if you don't open up, I'm going to jolly well break this door down!
34:01We'll stop!
34:02We'll stop!
34:04Right!
34:08Why was that door locked?
34:10Is one to have no privacy, Glosser?
34:12Well, I instructed Jeeves to shut the door because I was about to disrobe.
34:18There, you see?
34:19Thank you, sir.
34:20Thank you, Jeeves.
34:21But I heard his snaky little voice.
34:24And I intend to search this room from end to end.
34:27And if he is here, you better say goodbye to him quickly and order your lilies.
34:36What's in this cupboard?
34:38Just clothes.
34:39The usual wardrobe of an English gentleman.
34:41What's in this cupboard?
34:41How do you want to do your life?
34:45Ha!
34:47Ha!
34:49Ha!
34:51Ah!
34:51Ah!
34:55Ha!
35:03Ha!
35:14Jeeves, this is all getting a bit thick.
35:17Yes, sir.
35:26Ah, hello, Aunt Dahlia.
35:28Bertie, give me a drink.
35:31Anything, so long as it's strong.
35:33Approach Bertram along those lines, Aunt Dahlia, and you'll catch him at his best.
35:38Attila.
35:39That's the name.
35:40At Tila the Hump.
35:41Eh?
35:42I've been trying to think all through dinner what it was you reminded me of.
35:46Oh, now look, after everything I've done...
35:49Angela tells me she's going to get engaged to this spink bottle.
35:53Well, temporarily, yes.
35:56Oh, there it is.
35:58My only daughter, for whom I had dreamed of a wonderful golden future,
36:04is going to marry an inebriated newt fancier.
36:07Well, on to my heart, yes, I can't but agree that things are not too oojar-cum-spiff at the
36:12moment.
36:13Yes, Jeeves?
36:14A note for you, sir.
36:15From whom, Jeeves?
36:17From Miss Bassett, sir.
36:19What does Madeleine Bassett want to write a wee form?
36:22Open the damn thing and see.
36:30Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
36:33Ah-ha-ha-ha.
36:34Will you stop that?
36:37You don't understand.
36:38Madeleine Bassett says she's going to marry me.
36:41Well, I hope it keeps fine for both of you.
36:45I hope you won't take it amiss, sir,
36:47but I've been giving some attention to what might be called the amatory entanglements at Brinkley.
36:52It seems to me that drastic measures may be called for.
36:55Oh, drastic away, Jeeves.
36:57The prospect of being united for life with a woman who talks about little baby bunnies
37:02fills me with an unnamed dread.
37:04Supposing, sir, that in the middle of the night the fire alarm bell were to ring?
37:09Oh, not the fire alarm thing again, Jeeves.
37:12Yes, sir.
37:13As I see it, sir, the occupants of the house would suppose that a conflagration had broken out.
37:19Possibly, Jeeves. Possibly.
37:21Whereupon, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Glossop would hasten to save Miss Angela,
37:28while Mr. Fink-Nottle would perform the same office for Miss Bassett.
37:33Huh?
37:34This is based on psychology, is it, Jeeves?
37:37Yes, sir.
37:38It is thought to be the instinct of everyone upon the alarm of fire
37:41to save the object dearest to them.
37:44It seems to me there's a grave danger of seeing Tuppy come out carrying a steak and kidney pie,
37:48but resume, Jeeves, resume.
37:49Well, sir, the relations between the two couples could scarcely continue distant after such an occurrence.
37:56Hmm, well, you may be right.
37:58I just feel that there's a great possibility for a slip-up here, Jeeves.
38:02However, I'm not in a position to cavil at even a hundred to one shot.
38:06At what hour would you suggest bonging the bell?
38:09Not before midnight, sir.
38:10Hmm. Shall I bong, or will you?
38:12Well, I think it would be better coming from you, sir.
38:36I think it would be better coming from you, sir.
38:49No need to panic.
38:50I'm not, Dr. Devin, you see that.
38:52Oh, it's the fire.
38:54So you have to wait.
39:10Well, Jeeves?
39:12Sir?
39:14There's no good saying, sir.
39:16Look around you. See for yourself.
39:17Your scheme has proved a bust.
39:20Certainly it would appear that matters have not arranged themselves
39:23quite as we had anticipated, sir.
39:25We, Jeeves?
39:27As I had anticipated, sir.
39:29I'm not blaming you, Jeeves, but
39:32after this, well, forgive me if I hurt your feelings.
39:34Certainly, sir.
39:35If you would pardon me for interrupting you,
39:37I fancy Mrs. Travers is endeavouring to attract your attention.
39:41Just step this way a moment, Attila, dear.
39:44If you don't mind.
39:50What, oh, auntie?
39:53Well, Bertie, dear.
39:55Here we all are.
39:58Well, quite.
39:59It was you, dear child, who rang the fire bell, was it not?
40:03Oh, I did sort of ring it, yes.
40:06Any particular reason?
40:08I mean, did you want something, or was it just a whim?
40:11Oh, I thought there was a fire.
40:14What gave you that impression, darling?
40:16Tell auntie Dahlia.
40:18Oh, I thought I saw flames.
40:22The front door's shut.
40:24Somebody must have shut it behind them, and it's locked.
40:27Then try another door.
40:29They're all locked.
40:30It could ring the doorbell.
40:32And who would you expect to answer it, dear?
40:34The servants have all gone to the dance at Kingham,
40:37and Mr. Seppings no doubt took the key of the back door with him.
40:41We can't stop out here, old blasted knight, blasted.
40:45If Seppings has taken the back door key,
40:49why doesn't one of us take one of the cars,
40:52drive over to Kingham, and get it from him?
40:53That's the first sensible suggestion I've heard all day.
41:00It's locked.
41:04That's locked, too.
41:06Well, that's absolutely wonderful.
41:10They're all locked.
41:14Did you cough, Jeeves?
41:16Yes, madam.
41:17Is it influenza, or have you got an idea?
41:20Well, forgive me, madam, but it did occur to me
41:23that perhaps one of the gentlemen might be disposed
41:26to bicycle to Kingham Manor
41:27and procure the back door key for Mr. Seppings.
41:32Jeeves, you are wonderful.
41:34Thank you, madam.
41:36Attila!
41:40Well, I haven't ridden for years.
41:42Well, you'll soon get the knack,
41:44once you've taken a toss or two.
41:46But it's miles to Kingham.
41:49Nine miles.
41:50And nine miles back?
41:52And nine miles back.
41:54But it's dark.
41:55What if I barge into something?
41:57I'll become a frightful cropper.
41:59Good.
42:02Very well, aunt.
42:03So be it.
42:34Very well, auntie.Ĺž
43:21Yes, I need to see Mr. Stepping.
43:25They're all up at the dance.
43:28Yes, it is quite urgent, actually.
43:31I can try and telephone him with the telephone.
43:38Uh, yes, if you would.
43:48Why, Mr. Worcester, sir.
43:50Stepping, I need the key of the back door.
43:54Nessus, I left it with Mr. Jeeves.
43:57Jeeves?
43:58He said he wanted to walk in the garden before retiring for the night.
44:02He was going to leave it on the kitchen window sill for me.
44:07Mr. Worcester?
44:34He said he wanted to leave it on...
44:38Ha, ha, ha!
45:09Ha, ha, ha!
45:13Ha, ha, ha!
45:17Oh, look!
45:19He's back!
45:23Ha, ha, ha!
45:26Ha, ha, ha!
45:28Ha, ha, ha!
45:29Ha, ha, ha!
45:31Ha, ha, ha!
45:33What on Earth is going on, Jeeves?
45:35The house seems positively awash with joy and laughter.
45:39It's gratifying, isn't it, sir?
45:41Oh, come now, Jeeves.
45:43I fear I've not been entirely frank with you regarding the firebell, sir.
45:47I never anticipated that it would of itself produce the desired results.
45:51I'd intended it merely as a preliminary to what I might call the main business of the evening.
45:57You jibber, Jeeves!
46:01Explain yourself.
46:03It occurred to me that were you, sir, to be established as the person responsible for the ladies and gentlemen
46:08being forced to spend the night in the garden,
46:10everybody would take so strong a dislike to you that in this common antipathy they would sooner or later come
46:16together.
46:16And such proved to be the case.
46:19After your departure on the bicycle, the various estranged parties agreed so heartily in their abuse of you that the
46:27ice was broken.
46:29And when I informed the ladies and gentlemen that I had found the key, and it was borne in on
46:34them that you were having that long ride for nothing, there was a notable lessening of tension.
46:42Oh, there was, was there?
46:44Of course.
46:45The rain was a bonus.
46:48Of course.
46:49As soon as the storm began, their animosity vanished completely.
46:56Mr. Glossop and Miss Angela are once more betrothed, sir.
47:00Oh?
47:02And what about Miss Bassett? Do I still have to marry her?
47:05No, sir.
47:06Miss Bassett is once more safely affianced to Mr. Fink-Nottle.
47:10Phew!
47:11Well, praise be, Jeeves.
47:13Indeed, sir.
47:15Although, if you'll forgive me for saying so, your methods are a little on the rough side.
47:19Well, sir, one cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.
47:25I say.
47:27An omelette?
47:28Um, do you think you could get me one?
47:30Certainly, sir.
47:32Perhaps with a little half-boss or something?
47:35Undoubtedly, sir.
47:37Right-o, Jeeves.
