00:01:53Oh, this the weekend, McKim?
00:01:55Yes, sir.
00:01:56Good luck.
00:01:56Thank you, sir.
00:02:02Sorry, sir.
00:02:03Come on.
00:02:08John!
00:02:09Shove this into my locker, will you?
00:02:11What's the big rush?
00:02:12Taking Genevieve to Brighton.
00:02:13Good luck.
00:02:14Good luck.
00:02:16Uh!
00:02:24Hi Hehe.
00:02:25Donna Jones.
00:02:27Come here!
00:02:30Come here!
00:02:32Come here!
00:02:34Come here!
00:02:35Come here!
00:02:35Good luck!
00:02:37Come here!
00:02:37Good luck!
00:02:39Shove it together!
00:02:41Hey!
00:03:12Hi. Hello, Danny.
00:03:17Wendy.
00:03:21Wendy.
00:03:23Wendy.
00:03:42Wendy.
00:03:42Wendy.
00:03:43Wendy.
00:03:43Wendy.
00:04:09It's not locked, you know.
00:04:12It shouldn't carry so much.
00:04:13Oh!
00:04:14You made me break the eggs, that's what.
00:04:33Hello.
00:04:34Hello.
00:04:36What's the matter?
00:04:37Cleaners have ruined my best skirt.
00:04:39Ruined it?
00:04:40Yes, they pressed the pleats the wrong way round.
00:04:42How can you tell which way a pleat should go?
00:04:48Alan?
00:04:49Yeah?
00:04:50Proper lunch or proper dinner?
00:04:52Um, proper dinner.
00:04:57Yes.
00:04:58Oh!
00:05:00Are we doing anything this afternoon?
00:05:02Yes, I am. Tinkering.
00:05:04Generally, he's making strange noises.
00:05:06Never makes anything else.
00:05:08From the bank.
00:05:10We seem to be worth a hundred and thirty-three pounds and ninepence.
00:05:13Should be a hundred and forty-three.
00:05:15I draw out ten.
00:05:15What for?
00:05:16Surprise.
00:05:17What kind?
00:05:41Hello, Sport.
00:05:43Give ear to them, will you?
00:05:45Very nice.
00:05:45Nice? It's like a jet.
00:05:47I just spent twenty-five quid having her tuned up.
00:05:49How are you, old boy?
00:05:50Fine, thanks.
00:05:51And the beautiful Mrs. McKim?
00:05:52She's in, I hope.
00:05:53Wendy's in the kitchen.
00:05:57How about this old croc?
00:05:58Do you think she'll make it to Brighton?
00:05:59She always has.
00:06:00Well, if she doesn't, you'll have to take a train.
00:06:02I'm giving a party tomorrow night.
00:06:03Huh?
00:06:04Just you, Wendy, Rosalind and myself.
00:06:07Who's Rosalind?
00:06:08Woman I met in the races.
00:06:09I use the term woman in its broadest sense.
00:06:12I bet you do.
00:06:14From the east to western end, no jewel is like Rosalind.
00:06:19She's equally keen on you, of course.
00:06:21Keen?
00:06:22She's positively itching.
00:06:24Lunch in ten minutes.
00:06:26Hello, Ambrose.
00:06:28Hello, you gorgeous creature.
00:06:31Come on, let's live a little.
00:06:34Kettle's boiling.
00:06:35Ah, so am I.
00:06:36You look wonderful today.
00:06:38I'll come in and help you.
00:06:40Why don't you flog that wreck and buy a spiker?
00:06:44Silly horse.
00:06:47Oh, I see.
00:06:48That smells delicious.
00:06:50Wasn't very much.
00:06:51Well, you know me.
00:06:52Just the crust of bread.
00:06:53Any sherry?
00:06:54Help yourself.
00:06:56How's the advertising?
00:06:56Ah, tedious.
00:06:58But lucrative.
00:06:59You have one, Wendy?
00:07:00Thanks.
00:07:01Who's the lucky girl this year?
00:07:02One, Rosalind Peters.
00:07:04She's a model.
00:07:05Oh, what does she model?
00:07:06Well, she's...
00:07:06Oh, don't tell me.
00:07:07I can guess.
00:07:08She says they're wearing the same thing in sweaters this year.
00:07:11She seems very interested in vintage cars.
00:07:13Oh, wait until she's bounced all the way to Brighton.
00:07:16Bounced?
00:07:17My spiker doesn't bounce.
00:07:18It flows.
00:07:21You don't seem very excited about the rally, if I may say, sir.
00:07:24Not exactly beside myself.
00:07:26If I didn't know you better, I'd say your enthusiasm was on the wane.
00:07:30Oh, Ambrose, the whole thing's so silly.
00:07:33Oh, steady on, old girl.
00:07:34The London Brighton's silly.
00:07:35Oh, it is.
00:07:35It's childish and a bore.
00:07:37Does Alan know you feel like that about it?
00:07:39Of course not.
00:07:40I couldn't possibly tell him.
00:07:41Couldn't possibly tell me what?
00:07:43Nothing.
00:07:44Well, tell me.
00:07:45No, it's nothing.
00:07:47Ambrose is staying to lunch.
00:07:48Brown or white?
00:07:49What?
00:07:50What couldn't you possibly tell me?
00:07:51The fact is, old boy, there's a spot of treachery in our midst.
00:07:53Wendy says.
00:07:54Ambrose.
00:07:54Wendy says that London Brighton is a bore.
00:07:57Ambrose, I think you're foul.
00:07:59Does that mean you don't want to go?
00:08:01No.
00:08:01Of course I'll go.
00:08:03You don't have to go, you know, if you don't want to.
00:08:06I don't?
00:08:07Well, frankly, children, this is beyond me.
00:08:10Is there something you'd rather do instead?
00:08:16Well, is there?
00:08:19Now, just remember, will you?
00:08:20I didn't bring this up and I didn't want to talk about it.
00:08:22But, as it happens, Tanya's having a party tomorrow.
00:08:25I'm having a party, too.
00:08:26You, Alan, Rotherland...
00:08:27The one weekend in the year that you know is important to me
00:08:29and you'd rather go to a...
00:08:30Well, of course I'd rather go to a party.
00:08:31Does that make me abnormal or something?
00:08:34I simply don't see what's so wonderful about getting into a 50-year-old car
00:08:37and taking two days to drive to Brighton and back.
00:08:48Look, Ambrose, if you don't...
00:08:49Quiet.
00:08:50I was about to plead a subsequent engagement.
00:08:52Well, good luck, sport.
00:09:01Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
00:09:04Of course I'll come.
00:09:05Perhaps it'll be better this year.
00:09:07No.
00:09:09No what?
00:09:09I'll make the run alone.
00:09:12Oh, please.
00:09:13If you're going to be moody and long-suffering about it.
00:09:15Aye, aye, moody and long-suffering.
00:09:17Don't you think you're being a little unfair?
00:09:19No, I don't.
00:09:20I think you're unfair.
00:09:21If Ambrose hadn't come in and...
00:09:22Ambrose, Ambrose.
00:09:23Let's leave him out of it, shall we?
00:09:25That's the really unpleasant aspect about this situation.
00:09:27The fact that you talked to him.
00:09:28Well, why shouldn't I talk to him?
00:09:29He's our oldest friend, isn't he?
00:09:31He even introduced us.
00:09:32I'd like to be able to feel that when you had a problem,
00:09:34you could discuss it with me.
00:09:36Don't understand your eagerness to confide in Ambrose Claverhouse.
00:09:39That's a beastly thing to say.
00:09:41All right, then.
00:09:41So I'm unfair, moody, long-suffering and beastly.
00:09:44You know very well you were going to ask me to give up the run
00:09:46and take you to the party instead.
00:09:48You'd have asked me tonight.
00:09:49I'm not going with you.
00:09:50This year, next year or any year.
00:09:53I'll never get into that silly car again.
00:09:56Your lunch is ready.
00:09:57I don't want any lunch.
00:09:58Then don't eat any lunch.
00:09:59I can get it round to the pub.
00:10:00Then go round to the blasted pub.
00:10:10Then go round to the pub.
00:10:11Then go round to the pub.
00:10:11Why shouldn't I talk to him?
00:10:13Hold it.
00:10:29Wendy?
00:10:35Wendy?
00:10:36Wendy?
00:10:42Wendy, come and eat your lunch.
00:10:44Oh, go away.
00:11:00Wendy?
00:11:13What on earth are you doing now?
00:11:16Cleaning my teeth.
00:11:35Some glass under the bathtub. I knocked a bit out of the window.
00:11:37Why sweep it under the tub? I'll only have to get it out again.
00:11:40Don't worry about it. I'll clean it up in the morning.
00:11:43What on earth are you looking for?
00:11:45Looking for a bandage.
00:11:46Why? Hurt yourself?
00:11:48Oh. You'll survive.
00:11:51It's bleeding. If you have no objection, I'd like to have a bandage.
00:11:54I don't know where they are.
00:11:55They're in a box somewhere.
00:12:02Do you think you'll be able to drive?
00:12:04It doesn't matter. I'm not going.
00:12:06What on earth do you mean, not going?
00:12:09Oh, Alan, do stop the headache.
00:12:10There are no bandages in there.
00:12:13Well, you must be downstairs somewhere.
00:12:15If you think you can punish me by not going, you've got another thing coming.
00:12:19I don't care one little bit whether you go or not.
00:12:22And if you're not going, why did you spend the whole afternoon working on the car?
00:12:27Oh.
00:12:28Oh, wait.
00:12:31I spent the whole afternoon working on the car.
00:12:35Something happened to my older.
00:12:37Something happened to my older.
00:12:43Oh, sorry.
00:12:48Oh, sorry.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:49Oh.
00:12:49Oh.
00:12:50Oh.
00:12:51Oh.
00:12:54Oh, oh.
00:12:55Oh, oh.

00:13:50taking place here is by now an old story, but surprising as it may seem, it was quite
00:13:55illegal until 1896. Until then, no self-propelled vehicle could take the road unless it was
00:14:02preceded by a man on foot and carrying a red flag. There were very few cars on the roads
00:14:08and very few roads, for that matter, merely stretches of dust. There were no garages or
00:14:13service stations, and the pioneer motorist bought his petrol from the chemist. But in
00:14:19that year was passed the Light Locomotives and Highways Act. To celebrate the event, the
00:14:23first car so emancipated started from the Metropole Hotel London and drove to the Metropole Hotel
00:14:29Brighton. Since 1928, the Veteran Car Club has held an annual commemoration run, but it is
00:14:37not and has never been a race. Here's a very handsome machine. A Darach, isn't it? Yes,
00:14:43yes, that's right. 1904, isn't it? Yes, that's right. Yes, I thought, sir. Well, I wonder
00:14:52whether you'd care to tell listeners how it was that you came to acquire this vehicle,
00:14:56Mr. McKim. McKim, yes. Well, um, my grandfather bought a new, and about 1928, my, uh, my father
00:15:06found on a rubbish stamp, bought it for a pound, and rebuilt her. Um, he's made all the runs. I
00:15:12made all...
00:15:12He made all the runs before the war, and I've made them all since. Well, it's astonishing. Thank you both
00:15:17very much,
00:15:17and jolly good night to you. Thank you. Phew. I wonder where Ambrose is. You see Mr. Claverhouse?
00:15:25He's gone to telephone. His guest failed to appear. He's due to start in five minutes.
00:15:29Do you suppose after all that build-up, he isn't even going to producer? Oh, ho, ho! Look!
00:15:38Do you think that's the... It must be. Couldn't be anyone else.
00:15:45I beg your pardon. Are you Miss Peters? Yes, you must be Mr. and Mrs. Um...
00:15:49McKim, Alan and Wendy. Oh, Ambrose is friends. Isn't he here?
00:15:54I think he went to telephone. Oh. He'll be back. I'll take your cases over to his car.
00:15:58Thank you. Susie. Come on, Susie. Come on. There.
00:16:07This is Susie. She can say, how do you do?
00:16:11Say, how do you do, Susie? Say, how do you do, Susie?
00:16:20Oh. She can do the cutest things when she wants to.
00:16:23It must be too early in the morning.
00:16:27I didn't realize there's going to be so many people.
00:16:30Ambrose said it was a very exclusive club. Susie.
00:16:33I usually leave her with the housekeeper where I live.
00:16:36But she's been ill, so I had to bring her.
00:16:38You don't think that Ambrose will mind, do you? Mind?
00:16:41Of course not. He'll be delighted. Oh.
00:16:44Here we are.
00:16:46Is that it? This is it.
00:16:48Oh, no. Is this Ambrose's?
00:16:51But has it got brakes and everything?
00:16:54I know he said it was an old car, but the way he talked about it,
00:16:57I thought it was something wonderful. You'll get used to it.
00:16:59They all talk like that.
00:17:00Rosalyn!
00:17:02Hey! Rosalyn!
00:17:04Hi!
00:17:05Hi.
00:17:07Morning, Wendy.
00:17:07Morning, Osport.
00:17:08Hello.
00:17:09No reason prevailed, eh?
00:17:11Thank heavens you got here.
00:17:12I've been calling your number all night.
00:17:14Oh, I'm sorry, but I went to that party on Friday and it sort of got out of hand.
00:17:17Everybody decided to fly to Jersey.
00:17:19Eh?
00:17:20Oh. Oh, well, never mind.
00:17:26What's that?
00:17:29I was going to leave her with the housekeeper, but she's been sick.
00:17:32The dog's been sick?
00:17:33No, of course not the housekeeper.
00:17:36But, Rosalyn, we can't take that mutt all the way to Brighton.
00:17:38She's not a mutt.
00:17:40She's a sweet dog and has absolutely perfect manners.
00:17:42Well, can't you understand?
00:17:44We can't take a great big fat lump of a...
00:17:46It...
00:17:46Alan, bear me out. It just won't do, will it?
00:17:49Well, I don't see why not, old man.
00:17:50Oh, fine, fine. That's very funny.
00:17:53Mr. Cleverhouse. Mr. Cleverhouse. Go next.
00:17:56All right, but we'd better get aboard.
00:18:00Rosalyn Barker, hurry up!
00:18:07You'll find it to be all right once you get started.
00:18:09You're a great help, you are.
00:18:13Susie's a ching, anyway.
00:18:15See you in Brighton. Goodbye.
00:18:16Goodbye. Goodbye, Daddy. Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:18:22Goodbye.
00:18:51No standard, nobody home.
00:18:54Happy, darling?
00:18:57I know I was a silly ass yesterday, but it's just that it wouldn't be the same without you.
00:19:02I love you. Do you know that?
00:19:04And I love you, too. And I'm glad I came. Really.
00:19:23Oh, blast these tramplines.
00:19:25You know, I think she's feeling better now. I think she's even beginning to like it.
00:19:30Aren't you, Susie?
00:19:31Where did you get her?
00:19:32I found her during the war. I think she was blitzed because she was awfully neurotic.
00:19:37Do you know, for a long time she wouldn't eat anything except ravioli. Isn't that strange?
00:20:05Not too cold, are you, darling?
00:20:06No, I'm fine.
00:20:08I don't think it'll rain, anyway.
00:20:12I must say, considering how little time you've had to work on, are the old girls really behaving yourself?
00:20:18You should never say a thing like that.
00:20:23Nothing important. Won't take a minute.
00:20:25Want some coffee?
00:20:26No, thanks. Not now.
00:20:31Having trouble?
00:20:33We shall be all right. Thank you.
00:20:34All right for petrol?
00:20:35Yes, quite.
00:20:36Better try a new flint.
00:20:43Martin car owner for you. Typical.
00:20:45Oh, I thought that was very funny.
00:20:49Didn't you think it was funny?
00:20:50No, I didn't.
00:20:52Oh, darling.
00:20:53It's not even 10.30.
00:20:55What do you mean?
00:20:56Well, you can't lose your temper now.
00:20:59If you lose your temper now, what on earth are you going to be like my evening?
00:21:03Wendy!
00:21:04Oh, I got me.
00:21:05Oh, it's all gone through my skirt.
00:21:07Do something.
00:21:08Why don't you do something?
00:21:10Give a touch on the quickenings.
00:21:11There's another one.
00:21:12Stop beside it.
00:21:13Hurry up, hurry up.
00:21:14Oh, it'll have to change absolutely everything.
00:21:17Come on, come on, come on, darling.
00:21:19Oh, you are clumsy.
00:21:21It's all your fault.
00:21:22It wasn't my fault.
00:21:22It was an accident, Wendy.
00:21:23Why couldn't you be more careful?
00:21:24Listen, I...
00:21:25It's ruined the dress.
00:21:26Wendy, I'm terribly sorry, but I didn't know you were pouring the coffee.
00:21:29Otherwise, I wouldn't have drank the color.
00:21:30It's all right.
00:21:35Darling.
00:21:44Now, look here, my friend.
00:21:45We don't want any...
00:21:46Very nice.
00:21:47Thank you very much.
00:21:50Hold on there.
00:21:52What's the matter, chap?
00:21:52Don't you want to see yourself on the films?
00:21:54Take your missus to the locals.
00:21:55She'll love it.
00:22:10Wendy, are you all right?
00:22:13Yes, I'm fine.
00:22:18Darling, I'm terribly sorry.
00:22:20Are you soaking?
00:22:22Is there anything I can do?
00:22:24Yes.
00:22:25Put these in the car.
00:22:26Here, and this, too.
00:22:31Hello, Mekin.
00:22:32Hello, there.
00:23:06I'm sorry, darling.
00:23:07It was my fault, the whole thing.
00:23:09Never mind.
00:23:10It's not as bad as all that.
00:23:11Come on, let's go.
00:23:13You know, I wouldn't blame you if you said you wanted to turn back.
00:23:15Well, I don't.
00:23:21Are you sure?
00:23:23Are you sure you're not just saying that?
00:23:26Look, I don't want you to go on with this just because you think I'd be hurt.
00:23:28I'm perfectly willing to go home.
00:23:31I mean it.
00:23:33We'd get back in time for Tanya's party.
00:23:34Oh, come off it, Alan.
00:23:35But I mean it.
00:23:36You don't mean it at all.
00:23:38You know as well as I do we shall be in Brighton tonight, dead or alive.
00:23:41But you want to go on.
00:23:43I've said I want to go on.
00:23:49I know, but if you did want to go home, I'll...
00:23:51All right.
00:23:54All right what?
00:23:55Let's go home.
00:23:57Huh?
00:23:58I want to go home.
00:24:00Do you mean it?
00:24:01Of course I mean it.
00:24:07Darling, you are serious, aren't you?
00:24:08Oh, for heaven's sake, Alan.
00:24:10You know perfectly well we're going to Brighton.
00:24:12We're going to sit here all day.
00:24:31You realize what good time we've made?
00:24:32I told you you shouldn't say.
00:24:34I know I shouldn't say things like that, but the fact is we have.
00:24:38I've just had an idea.
00:24:39Hmm?
00:24:41Don't you want to know what it is?
00:24:43You should do because you're going to be delighted.
00:24:45All right.
00:24:47Delight me.
00:24:48Look, old Harry's pub's only half a mile ahead.
00:24:50We're going to stop and I'm going to buy you a jolly good lunch.
00:25:07Do you know what?
00:25:08I'm going to buy you a jolly good dinner.
00:25:10I'm not counting on that either.
00:25:13It'll take at least half an hour to put this right.
00:25:15You know, I really did want to buy you a decent lunch, but what are you looking for?
00:25:23What's this?
00:25:25Food.
00:25:25Yes.
00:25:26But how?
00:25:27When?
00:25:27Last night.
00:25:28Last night?
00:25:29While you were asleep.
00:25:30I knew we wouldn't get any lunch.
00:25:32Never have done yet.
00:25:33We went to Brighton.
00:25:34Chicken.
00:25:35Ham.
00:25:36Salad.
00:25:38Olives.
00:25:39Oh, you're wonderful.
00:25:40It's a wonderful idea.
00:25:42Makes the day.
00:25:44Hmm.
00:25:58Oh, there they are.
00:26:01Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:26:06Oh, having some difficulty, old mayor, have you been?
00:26:09We didn't pass you.
00:26:11We've just been enjoying a delicious and most leisurely lunch.
00:26:14You've changed.
00:26:15Oh, and you've had a picnic.
00:26:17Oh.
00:26:20Why couldn't we have had a picnic?
00:26:21I love picnics.
00:26:22Well, I don't know.
00:26:24Do you think that old croc's packed it in for good?
00:26:27Well, don't worry about it.
00:26:29Are you sure I can't give you a hand, old boy?
00:26:31Don't you think Wendy ought to come with us?
00:26:33I should hate it to miss the parade.
00:26:35Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:26:38Jesus.
00:26:39If you take my advice, old boy, the next time that engine dies, you'll take it out and bury it.
00:26:43Ha, ha.
00:26:57What was that?
00:26:59Hurry, let's go.
00:27:00Do you think something awful's happened?
00:27:01Could be.
00:27:03Oh.
00:27:04Oh, Susie.
00:27:06Susie.
00:27:07Oh, my Susie.
00:27:08Poor Susie.
00:27:10Poor Susie.
00:27:11Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:14Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:15Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:16Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:17Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:18Having some difficulty, old man?
00:27:20Ha.
00:27:21Maybe we should take Rosalind with us.
00:27:22You know I should hate her to miss the parade.
00:27:25Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:26Ha, ha.
00:27:27If you take my advice, the next time that engine dies, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:30Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:32Hah.
00:27:34Ha, ha, ha.
00:27:35Did you see his expression?
00:27:36Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:41Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:46Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:27:52Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:27:53It wasn't that funny.
00:27:56It wasn't funny at all, really.
00:27:58No.
00:27:59You should have stopped and helped him.
00:28:00What, did I stop and help, Ambrose?
00:28:02After all his insults to Genevieve?
00:28:04I wouldn't lend him a hand if he was the last.
00:28:06Oh, that's unfair.
00:28:07I don't know what it is about these silly old cars.
00:28:09For the moment people get into them, they start behaving like idiots.
00:28:13You know perfectly well if you were in trouble, he'd stop and help you.
00:28:16Never.
00:28:16He would.
00:28:17Never.
00:28:18Anyhow, I'd never ask him to.
00:28:23Alan!
00:28:24Steering's gone.
00:28:25Now sit tight, Wendy.
00:28:26We'll be all right.
00:28:28Alan!
00:28:29Hold on, darling.
00:28:31We'll be all right.
00:28:33Alan!
00:28:37Oh.
00:28:44Sorry, darling.
00:28:47Is it really serious?
00:28:59Do you think you can fix it?
00:29:01I don't know.
00:29:01I can try.
00:29:02It'll take hours.
00:29:03I need a ring spanner.
00:29:07It's Ambrose.
00:29:08He's got one just the sort I need.
00:29:13Ambrose!
00:29:15Ambrose!
00:29:16Ambrose!
00:29:16Ambrose, wait a minute!
00:29:17Ambrose!
00:29:21Oh.
00:29:23Come on.
00:30:06Give it me again, darling.
00:30:4020 minutes to spare.
00:30:45How about a drink to celebrate?
00:30:46Not one.
00:30:50If you'd like, we've got time enough to pop across to the hotel and see you.
00:30:53I'd like to check out that our rooms are okay.
00:30:55Not now.
00:30:56I'd like to see what happens.
00:30:58In certain circumstances, you know, I could forget all about the parade.
00:31:02Steady, Juniors.
00:31:04Steady.
00:31:05Ambrose, do you think the McKim's will get here?
00:31:08Alan, it's a kind of family sacrament with him.
00:31:11He'll be here on time if he has to push that Derek on his hands and knees.
00:31:14There's the Oliver's.
00:31:15Hello, boy.
00:31:17May I introduce my...
00:31:18This is Miss Peters.
00:31:19Joan, Sally, John Oliver...
00:31:44What time is it, darling?
00:31:46Ten to seven.
00:31:47Oh, we won't even be there for the dinner.
00:31:49First time.
00:31:51First time ever in 25 years.
00:31:55Let's go.
00:31:56Just take a look.
00:31:57I'm going now.
00:31:57Let's go.
00:32:00I'm looking.
00:32:00Never before.
00:32:00In time.
00:32:03Let's go.
00:32:03You're looking.
00:32:04Take a look.
00:32:22All in, honey.
00:32:23You're looking.
00:32:25Oh, I never wanted a bath so much in all my life.
00:32:28Darling, wait in the car a minute, will you?
00:32:29Why, what's the matter? I'll be right back.
00:32:31But isn't this the right place? Yes, but... Just wait a minute.
00:32:36Take your bags and just hold on a minute, will you?
00:32:42Evening, miss. Evening.
00:32:44Had a nice day driving, miss. Thank you for asking. No.
00:32:50Have you... No.
00:32:53Darling, there's something I have to tell you. Well?
00:32:56Well, we haven't got a room. That's absurd. Of course we've got a room.
00:32:59No. You sent them a wire a fortnight ago.
00:33:02Yes, but last night when you said you weren't coming, I...
00:33:04You sent them another wire and cancelled the room. Yes.
00:33:07And then you didn't tell me because you thought I might be put off
00:33:10by the idea of sleeping on the beach. Darling, please don't be angry.
00:33:12They've given me the address of another place and they say it's wonderful.
00:33:14Oh, wonderful.
00:33:23I should tell you that we don't usually let this room until all the others are taken.
00:33:27You see, I'm afraid it is a little uncomfortable. It's rather noisy.
00:33:31Noisy?
00:33:32The lady who had it last, one of our permanent residents,
00:33:35was totally deaf, so in her case it didn't really matter.
00:33:39Unfortunately, only last week we lost her.
00:33:45You see, it's really very...
00:33:47I'm sure it will do very well.
00:33:48Well, it's very close to me.
00:33:49Oh, that's all right. Which floor, please?
00:33:51It's number 57 on the 5th.
00:33:54Mr and Mrs McKim.
00:33:55Yes, that's right. Is there a lift?
00:33:57Oh, no. I'm afraid we have no lift.
00:33:59Is there someone who can give me a hand with these?
00:34:02I'm so sorry. The whole potter's just having his supper.
00:34:05But you can leave them there if you like.
00:34:06I think I can manage.
00:34:07Is the bathroom near our room, please?
00:34:09No, both the bathrooms are on the second floor landing.
00:34:12The second?
00:34:13Yes, you'll see them on your way up.
00:34:15And when you want to take a bath,
00:34:16would you be so kind as to sign the little book
00:34:17you'll find just inside the bathroom door?
00:34:19I'll sign right now.
00:34:20Oh, I'm so sorry, but hot water's provided
00:34:22only in the afternoons between half past two and six.
00:34:25There's no hot water?
00:34:26Yes, hot water's provided in the afternoons
00:34:29between half past two and six.
00:34:30Darling, I think we'd better go out.
00:34:31But this is preposterous.
00:34:33Do I have to sign the book in order to have a cold bath?
00:34:35Well, the rule simply says that hot water's provided.
00:34:37You mean I can't even have a cold bath?
00:34:39I'm very sorry, but I did not make the rule.
00:34:42Well, then who did?
00:34:43Oh, never mind.
00:34:45I don't want to know.
00:34:50No one's ever complained before.
00:34:53Are they Americans?
00:34:54No one's ever complained before.
00:34:57Do I have any more?
00:35:23No one's ever complained before.
00:35:24I don't know.
00:35:46Oh, my God.
00:36:17Oh, my God.
00:36:27Oh, my God.
00:36:30Oh, my God.
00:36:32Oh, my God.
00:36:33Oh, my God.
00:36:35Oh, my God.
00:36:39Oh, my God.
00:36:45Oh, my God.
00:37:06Oh, my God.
00:37:37Oh, my God.
00:37:42Oh, my God.
00:37:47Oh, my God.
00:37:51Oh, my God.
00:37:58Oh, my God.
00:37:59Oh, my God.
00:38:00Oh, my God.
00:38:01Oh, my God.
00:38:33Oh, my God.
00:38:36Oh, my God.
00:38:50Oh, my God.
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:28Oh, my God.
00:39:34Oh, my God.
00:39:49Oh, my God.
00:40:07Oh, my God.
00:40:07Oh, my God.
00:40:18Oh, my God.
00:40:21Oh, my God.
00:40:26Oh, my God.
00:40:26Oh, my God.
00:40:27Oh, my God.
00:40:28He may have his little shortcomings, but he's certainly not the jealous type of it.
00:40:47Thank you, dear.
00:40:49Rosalind, don't you think you'd better...
00:40:50I'd like to play the trumpet.
00:40:52Would anybody like to hear me play the trumpet?
00:40:54Hey, you must have had it even more than I thought.
00:40:56Wendy.
00:40:58You'd like to hear me play the trumpet?
00:41:00Well, do you think you're sure?
00:41:03What's the name of your car? Clementine?
00:41:06Genevieve.
00:41:07Genevieve.
00:41:08I'll show them how to play the trumpet.
00:41:12Hey, Rosalind!
00:41:16She must be Blotter.
00:41:22Oh, my.
00:41:35Oh, no!
00:41:37Oh, no!
00:41:48She came for me now.
00:41:50Oh, no!
00:41:53Oh, no, no!
00:42:04Hey, boys, there go that.
00:42:06May I have it?
00:42:09Oh, no!
00:42:46Oh, listen!
00:43:20Oh, darling, I love you!
00:43:54There we are. That's the way to play the trumpet.
00:43:57You are wonderful!
00:43:58I'll say without hesitation, that's the most astounding thing I've ever heard in my life.
00:44:02That's genius. Don't you agree, Wendy?
00:44:04Wonderful! Alan? Absolutely.
00:44:06Why on earth didn't you tell me...
00:44:10Rosalind? Rosalind!
00:44:16She's out.
00:44:47What's so funny?
00:44:49Oh, don't pay any attention to me. It's just mild hysteria.
00:44:56Wendy, there's something I want to ask you.
00:44:58Hmm? What is this?
00:45:02I want to know...
00:45:04Well, I want to know about... about your and Ambrose.
00:45:08What about me and Ambrose?
00:45:11I think it's time I knew exactly what's going on.
00:45:15I don't know what you mean.
00:45:16You know perfectly well what I mean.
00:45:19It brings a different girl down here each year.
00:45:22Let's not pretend we don't know why.
00:45:24Well?
00:45:27I've never asked you this. I've never even mentioned it.
00:45:30But now I want to know the answer.
00:45:33What answer?
00:45:34What's the question?
00:45:35What happened on the 49 run?
00:45:41I'm serious. I want to know.
00:45:45What happened on the 49 run?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:50Well, we left Hyde Park at about 8.30.
00:45:55And then we stopped somewhere in Saudi for a cup of coffee.
00:46:02Oh, Alan.
00:46:04Do you mean what happened after the annual dinner?
00:46:07That's precisely what I mean.
00:46:09Oh, darling, are you sure?
00:46:11Are you sure you really want to know what happened?
00:46:14Why have you never asked me before?
00:46:16Why didn't you ask me before we were married?
00:46:19Look, what happened?
00:46:22Oh, it's silly to bring it up after we've been married for three years.
00:46:26Let's forget about it.
00:46:28Make love to me.
00:46:29Don't be ridiculous.
00:46:32Oh, darling, you wouldn't want to be married to a woman of no experience whatever,
00:46:35would you?
00:46:39What would you do if I told you?
00:46:46You see?
00:46:47Don't even know.
00:46:48Don't even know what happened to you.
00:46:49Will you make up your mind what you do, and then I'll tell you.
00:46:58Oh, make love to me.
00:47:02All right, if you don't take the matter seriously.
00:47:04Alan, what are you doing?
00:47:05I have some work to do on the cow.
00:47:06At this hour?
00:47:07Oh, can't it wait?
00:47:08Alan!
00:47:24Alan!
00:47:38What do you mean?
00:47:40What would you do if I told you?
00:47:42You see, you don't even know.
00:47:47I had a hunch I'd find you here.
00:47:49Well, what do you want?
00:47:50Where's Rosalind?
00:47:52She's asleep.
00:47:58Well, what's a blasted funny about it?
00:48:00You are.
00:48:01Never mind, Ambrose. You still have Susie.
00:48:06Wendy turned in.
00:48:07Yes.
00:48:09Why?
00:48:09I just wondered.
00:48:12She seems a bit fed up with you, old boy, if I may say so.
00:48:15Well, don't worry about it.
00:48:17Oh, but I do.
00:48:18I mean, I was the one who brought you two together.
00:48:21I used to hate to see anything going wrong with your marriage, I mean.
00:48:24Just what do you mean by that?
00:48:27Well, sometimes, old boy, I have the feeling that you don't really appreciate Wendy.
00:48:31Oh, you do?
00:48:33Yes, I'm sure of it.
00:48:35Well, I'm sure of something else.
00:48:36We're getting awfully tired of you perpetually sticking your face into our affairs.
00:48:39You're always hanging around, soaking up all the drink in the house, bothering Wendy.
00:48:43Steady on.
00:48:45Wendy always seems glad to see me.
00:48:47Now, look here.
00:48:49If you're so keen on Wendy, and you're always pointing out you knew before I did,
00:48:52why didn't you marry her when you had the chance?
00:48:54You know, I've often wondered about that myself.
00:48:58Frankly, I think the answer is that Wendy's improved a lot during the past three years.
00:49:02I can't think why, but there it is.
00:49:06You better clear out of here.
00:49:08Right now.
00:49:09We were just going.
00:49:13You know, I really came to ask if you'd like us to take Wendy back tomorrow.
00:49:17After all, this old crock's scarcely likely to make it.
00:49:19Don't be enough.
00:49:20Do you really think that's spiker of yours?
00:49:22It wasn't the spiker that got here after dinner.
00:49:24This is the better machine, and you really well know it.
00:49:25Nonsense.
00:49:26Look, I'm bored with all this.
00:49:27Genevieve would leave you standing.
00:49:29I don't suppose you care to back that statement.
00:49:31I certainly would.
00:49:32Anytime.
00:49:32First one to London?
00:49:34We'd get kicked out of the club.
00:49:35Who'd know?
00:49:36All right.
00:49:37How much?
00:49:38Anything you'd like?
00:49:38Twenty-five?
00:49:39Fifty?
00:49:40Right.
00:49:40That's not too steep for you.
00:49:43Make it a hundred.
00:49:44Oh, now, wait a moment.
00:49:45What's the matter?
00:49:45Losing interest?
00:49:46By no means, but a hundred.
00:49:47It's just that I never knew you were a gambler.
00:49:49It's no gamble.
00:49:50This is the better car.
00:49:51Even if it weren't, you're such a rotten driver.
00:49:52What?
00:49:53You dare say that to me?
00:49:56Rotten driver?
00:49:58Right.
00:49:59Twelve o'clock at the pub.
00:50:00We'll be there.
00:50:01Come on, Susie.
00:50:02Rotten driver.
00:50:05Friend of yours, Gough?
00:50:06No.
00:50:43Alan, what on earth are you doing?
00:50:46I'm sorry, darling.
00:50:48I had the stripper right down.
00:50:51Darling, you can't do without sleep.
00:50:53I'm all right, really.
00:50:56Listen, Wendy.
00:50:57Ambrose was here last night.
00:50:59What did he want?
00:51:01He said, oh, it doesn't matter.
00:51:03The important thing is we made a bet.
00:51:04We're racing back to London.
00:51:06Oh, don't be silly.
00:51:07Oh, it is cold in here.
00:51:10Wendy, I bet him a hundred pounds.
00:51:12You did...
00:51:13I know I shouldn't have done it, but...
00:51:14Oh!
00:51:15Wait a minute, Wendy.
00:51:16Listen, Wendy.
00:51:19Listen, Wendy.
00:51:34Darling, you have to listen to me.
00:51:37Look, I admit it was foolish.
00:51:38I admit it was wrong to do it, but you have to come with me.
00:51:41I'll have nothing to do with it.
00:51:45You have to come.
00:51:47I'm serious.
00:51:49If you didn't come, it'd be humiliating.
00:51:52Alan, how could you?
00:51:54Oh, I don't know.
00:51:55I was angry.
00:51:56I lost my temper.
00:51:58He was hinting things.
00:52:00Well, he said you were always glad to see him.
00:52:05He said he wondered why he hadn't asked you to marry him.
00:52:08Marry him?
00:52:09Ambrose?
00:52:11Are you out of your mind?
00:52:14Oh, darling, I'm sorry.
00:52:16I know I talked a lot of nonsense last night.
00:52:18But you were so pompous and stuffy.
00:52:23Oh, Alan, you must have known I was talking nonsense.
00:52:32You can tell him you didn't mean it.
00:52:34Oh, I can't.
00:52:36A bet's a bet.
00:52:38We can beat him, darling.
00:52:39I promise you we can beat him.
00:52:42All right, I'll come.
00:52:44But if you've thrown away a hundred pounds,
00:52:47almost all we've got in the bank,
00:52:48just for the sake of a ridiculous bet.
00:52:52Oh, Alan, how can you have been such an idiot?
00:53:03Alan, darling, what is it?
00:53:04Nothing, nothing.
00:53:07I'm just...
00:53:10Oh, that's high.
00:53:12I'm...
00:53:12I'm...
00:53:25Oh, my God.
00:53:49Ah, you're looking better now.
00:53:53Won't it be awfully boring racing about in these old cars?
00:53:57Boring?
00:53:58How fast do they go?
00:53:59Well, if he tears that car of his to shreds, he might get 27 out of her,
00:54:03but I'll bet you will absolutely leave him.
00:54:04Will you put me on a train?
00:54:05Now, look, Rosalind, if I don't carry a passenger, how can I expect McKim to?
00:54:10All right.
00:54:12Oh, what a weekend.
00:54:15I'll tell you what.
00:54:17If we win that £100, we'll pop over to Le Touquet next weekend, eh?
00:54:23Ambrose, that Le Touquet routine went out with high-button boots.
00:54:29Ha-ha! Here they are.
00:54:32Morning, sport.
00:54:35You thought you might have changed your mind, Wendy?
00:54:39Well, I seem to have left the party rather abruptly last night.
00:54:41Feeling better?
00:54:43Well, pop down, then.
00:54:44Have a drink. We'll need one or two for the road.
00:54:46No, thanks. I'd rather get started.
00:54:48Ah, well, surely you'll have just one.
00:54:49No, let's go.
00:54:51Very well, then. On your way.
00:54:53What do you mean?
00:54:53Go ahead.
00:54:54We'll have a few more drinks, then we'll catch you up.
00:54:56Oh, I think this is all getting very silly, don't you?
00:54:58Yes, I do.
00:54:59Ha-ha-ha!
00:55:00Ha-ha-ha!
00:55:02Wait, hold on. Another pint, please.
00:55:04But if we're going to race, shouldn't we get started?
00:55:07My dear old girl, when that car gets started,
00:55:10you'll be intoxicated by the exuberance of your own velocity.
00:55:15Ha-ha! Did you get that?
00:55:16I said you'll be intoxicated by the...
00:55:17I said I'm not drinking anything at all today.
00:55:20Nothing at all.
00:55:23I'll show him the pompous ass.
00:55:26Any sign of them yet?
00:55:30Come off it, darling. You want us to win, don't you?
00:55:34Yes, of course I do.
00:55:36But I still think it's ridiculous.
00:55:40No, I can't see them.
00:55:41Good.
00:55:42Imagine him waving us off like that.
00:55:44Conceited clown.
00:55:46Come on.
00:55:50Why don't you start it?
00:55:56Oh!
00:55:57Ah!
00:55:58I say.
00:56:00Would you mind giving me a push, please?
00:56:02We're in a race with that Derek.
00:56:07Come on, Harry.
00:56:08Come on.
00:56:11Here we go.
00:56:13Very decent, lovely.
00:56:14Walter, get it now. Push up.
00:56:18Faster, please.
00:56:22Push up. Push up. Come on. Faster.
00:56:25Faster. Come on. Faster.
00:56:29Faster, madam. Faster.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:31Faster.
00:56:32Push, madam. Push.
00:56:38Well done.
00:56:55Well, have that.
00:57:06Well, I doubt if they'll believe us in court, but you were doing about 50 miles per hour.
00:57:11Yes, but I can explain, officer. You see, trying to kill yourselves?
00:57:13No, not really, but we're in a race.
00:57:15Race?
00:57:16What are you racing in that?
00:57:17Another fellow, a 1904 spiker.
00:57:19Since when has the veteran car club gone in for racing?
00:57:22Well, it hasn't really, but you see, we...
00:57:23Well, you're in a restricted area.
00:57:25You're not going to give us a ticket, are you?
00:57:29Sorry, madam.
00:57:29Oh, but, officer, we're already in so much trouble.
00:57:33Who'd know if you just let us go?
00:57:36We'd be so grateful.
00:57:40Barely.
00:57:44Well, then, let's catch you again.
00:57:52Darling, you were wonderful.
00:57:54They might have kept us there for 10 minutes.
00:57:56You know, I'm Rose.
00:58:02I'm Rose can't be very far behind.
00:58:09Get those sheep out of here.
00:58:11You can't block up the whole road like this.
00:58:13Oh, go on, woman. Get them out of here.
00:58:18Look, there's a shortcut up there.
00:58:20Look, there's a shortcut up there.
00:58:20We'll get round them.
00:58:36Oh, Ambrose!
00:58:37Ambrose, stop!
00:58:39Stop!
00:58:45We're stuck.
00:58:47We'll have to get out and push.
00:58:48Me?
00:58:48What of all my stockings?
00:58:50Oh, never mind those.
00:58:51I'll buy you a dozen pairs.
00:58:53Now, go on, Rosalind.
00:58:54Get out and push.
00:58:57Oh!
00:59:00Oh!
00:59:02Oh!
00:59:05Well...
00:59:05No, not like that.
00:59:07Get your shoulder into it.
00:59:09There she comes.
00:59:11There she comes.
00:59:12Oh!
00:59:13Oh!
00:59:14Oh!
00:59:15Oh!
00:59:15Oh!
00:59:16Well done, old girl.
00:59:17Well done.
00:59:17Let's get going.
00:59:18Let's get going.
00:59:19Come on, hurry up.
00:59:20Let's get going.
00:59:20Get going yourself.
00:59:21Oh!
00:59:21Oh!
00:59:21Get out of it.
00:59:22Come on.
00:59:23Come on.
00:59:24Get in.
00:59:24Look at my clothes.
00:59:26Oh!
00:59:28Oh!
00:59:28Oh!
00:59:28Oh, I can't bear anymore.
00:59:29This look of me, I'm absolutely ruined.
00:59:31Oh, pipe's down.
00:59:32You're all right.
00:59:33I want to go home.
00:59:46Woman, don't you realize we're in a race?
00:59:49And will you kindly get those sheep out of here?
00:59:51Get them out of here!
00:59:56We need some water over there.
00:59:58Quick, run in there last for some.
01:00:08Oh, Ambrose, stop for a second, will you?
01:00:10I can't see what I'm doing.
01:00:11Stop?
01:00:11How can I stop?
01:00:13Are you mad?
01:00:14Now, I see here, my friend.
01:00:18I don't think there's anyone here.
01:00:21Oh, don't worry about that gate.
01:00:22Run down to the stream.
01:00:28Don't be long, Wendy.
01:00:30Oh!
01:00:31Oh!
01:00:32Oh!
01:00:36Wendy, what are you doing?
01:00:38Hurry up!
01:00:38Oh, shut up!
01:00:39I am!
01:00:43Oh!
01:00:44Look, there they are.
01:00:47Ah!
01:00:48Ah!
01:00:50Oh!
01:00:59Well, what's the matter?
01:01:00What do you want?
01:01:00It's my wife.
01:01:01She's going to...
01:01:02I've got to get the nurse.
01:01:03The district nurse.
01:01:04Oh, well, all right.
01:01:04We'll jump on.
01:01:05Hurry.
01:01:06Oh, thanks.
01:01:06Thank you very much.
01:01:07It's the next one.
01:01:08The turning on the left.
01:01:09What do you mean?
01:01:09It says off the main road.
01:01:10Only half a mile.
01:01:11There, that one.
01:01:12But we can't win a race!
01:01:13Oh, don't be so ridiculous.
01:01:15Don't be such a stinker.
01:01:16This just isn't fair.
01:01:17How can I be expected to stand the jump?
01:01:34He's making awfully good time.
01:01:44Go on.
01:01:45Straight, straight.
01:01:45You're fine.
01:01:50Oh, please.
01:01:51Can't you go a little faster?
01:01:53Shut up, you silly ass! You come and drive this big!
01:02:05Anything wrong?
01:02:06There's nothing serious, a broken fan belt, but I have to get to a garage.
01:02:10I'd be delighted. Got a rope?
01:02:11Yes, thanks very much.
01:02:19On your way back from a big rally?
01:02:20Yes.
01:02:21My name's Callaghan. J.C. Callaghan.
01:02:24McKim. Alan McKim.
01:02:26Madam.
01:02:30Well, what's the point of rushing back now?
01:02:33This won't take long to pick.
01:02:34What other we've lost?
01:02:35Who says we've lost?
01:02:36You don't admit that we've lost.
01:02:38Why, should I?
01:02:38But being told, do you call that fair?
01:02:40What did you expect me to do? Tear it to pieces by driving on the loose...
01:02:43I didn't expect you to cheat.
01:02:44It's not cheating. You're just mad because you twisted your...
01:02:46If this isn't cheating, then what is?
01:02:48You've been the same all day.
01:02:49You didn't want to come to Brighton in the first place.
01:02:51It's got nothing whatever to do with it.
01:02:52It's got everything to do with it.
01:02:53It's got everything to do with it.
01:02:53It's got everything to do with it.
01:02:54Rules?
01:02:55Yes, of course.
01:02:55Who makes the rules anyway?
01:02:56Whoa!
01:03:03Haven't you got any brakes?
01:03:04You stopped so suddenly.
01:03:05Look at it.
01:03:06Look what you've done to this car.
01:03:07Well, it's not that serious, you know.
01:03:09My insurance will cover that.
01:03:10Insurance?
01:03:11What has that to do with it?
01:03:13This car belongs to my wife.
01:03:15And when she sees what...
01:03:18Hey, how do we get ahead of you?
01:03:20Just what does this mean?
01:03:22Have you conceded the race?
01:03:24Take your hands off that car.
01:03:26Of course I haven't conceded the race.
01:03:27I had to have a tow or I...
01:03:28Well, if we're going to get a tow to London,
01:03:29we can both be there in half the time.
01:03:30What am I going to tell my wife?
01:03:32How do I know what you're going to tell your wife?
01:03:33Ask my wife.
01:03:34But there wasn't a single mother.
01:03:35Who cares about your car?
01:03:37Why did you get out of here?
01:03:37What do you want?
01:03:37A public apology in the press?
01:03:38But you don't know my wife.
01:03:40Well, have you conceded on...
01:03:41Oh, shut up.
01:03:42You're worse than he is.
01:03:43Go away.
01:03:44Go away.
01:03:44You go away.
01:03:45Yes, go away.
01:03:46Go on.
01:03:46Get out of here.
01:03:46Buzz off.
01:03:47Oh, really?
01:03:48Alan.
01:03:51Can I help you, sir?
01:03:52It's my fan belt.
01:03:53It's broken link.
01:03:53Right.
01:03:59Now, listen.
01:04:00If you want to cheat and be pulled,
01:04:02I'm not prepared to...
01:04:03Oh, look.
01:04:03What's the difference between being pushed or pulled?
01:04:05We were pushed nearly half a mile.
01:04:07You keep out of this.
01:04:07Now, stop it.
01:04:08Both of you.
01:04:09You're being ridiculous.
01:04:09Either you call the whole thing off or else stop behaving like lunatics.
01:04:15All right.
01:04:17If you're going to make this a race in which anything goes, that suits me.
01:04:20I can fix it, sir.
01:04:21Right.
01:04:21Whenever you're ready, Duchess.
01:04:24Isn't this becoming just a little bit frantic?
01:04:27Look what he's done to me.
01:04:28Oh, he's no worse than Alan.
01:04:30The same every year.
01:04:31Come on.
01:04:31We're wasting time.
01:04:36Bye.
01:04:37Bye.
01:04:38Bye.
01:04:42Bye.
01:04:44Thank you, sir.
01:04:46Don't worry.
01:04:46We'll catch them up.
01:04:54What's wrong now?
01:04:59Try it again.
01:05:00Come on, Mary.
01:05:10Oh, these flies! They'll drive me absolutely crazy.
01:05:14Well, you don't seem to have enjoyed the picnic much.
01:05:17Yesterday, you said you'd rather have a picnic...
01:05:18That was yesterday.
01:05:20I'm sorry, Ambrose, but I'm hot and I'm filthy.
01:05:25Anyway, it was a sweet idea and a nice surprise.
01:05:30More wine?
01:05:31I shouldn't drink any more.
01:05:34Oh, it makes me so sleepy.
01:05:38Why don't you stretch out and relax for a while?
01:05:41Can I?
01:05:43Oh, in heaven!
01:05:46But what about the rest?
01:05:48Don't give it a thought.
01:05:50We've all the time in the world.
01:05:56But if you lose that rest...
01:05:57We won't lose. We can't.
01:06:00McKim will be sitting in that garage for hours.
01:06:08How do you know he hasn't already passed us?
01:06:12Because he'll be looking for this.
01:06:18You mean that car won't even run?
01:06:20Not ten feet.
01:06:21So, you see, we haven't a thing in the world to worry about.
01:06:23Well, I must say that's a dirty trick to play on anybody.
01:06:26Rosalind, you saw him being told.
01:06:28Anyway, I'd never have taken his money.
01:06:30I don't care.
01:06:31I think it's just a rotten thing to do.
01:06:33Oh, be reasonable. I thought you'd enjoy a little break.
01:06:36I've had as much of this as I can stand.
01:06:38I want to go home.
01:06:41There's no need to hurt Susie either.
01:06:43Come on, Susie.
01:06:51Forty-two minutes.
01:06:53I think this one will hold, sir.
01:06:55What kind of a man can do a thing like that?
01:06:58What kind of a man?
01:06:59Oh, darling, don't worry so. You'll make yourself ill.
01:07:04Best I can do, sir. Should get you to London.
01:07:07Thank you, sir.
01:07:10Hope you catch him, sir.
01:07:24We'll never catch him up now, darling.
01:07:26Never say die.
01:07:29What kind of a man?
01:07:30What kind of a man, though?
01:07:32I mean, I had to have a tow or burn up my engine,
01:07:34but to make a bet and then deliberately to ruin the other man's chances.
01:07:43What on earth are you?
01:08:04If you're about to become a father, I'm not interested.
01:08:07I'm sorry to trouble you, sir, but I wanted to ask if you knew anything about the accident.
01:08:11Accident?
01:08:12Yes, some friends of mine who were on the rally.
01:08:14A young couple named McKim. We've just heard that they...
01:08:17McKim? What do you mean to say that...
01:08:19Well, was it a serious accident?
01:08:21Well, the chap that just stopped here said...
01:08:23What, you mean that...
01:08:24Oh, my.
01:08:26Oh, my.
01:08:42When did you telephone?
01:08:45What are you grinning about?
01:08:48I suppose I should be grateful for a break in the gloom.
01:08:51Ambrose and Rosalind will probably be in London by now laughing at us.
01:08:55Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:08:56What is it?
01:08:58Oh, if you don't stop laughing, I'll go...
01:09:01Will you stop that silly rub?
01:09:03It's a surprise.
01:09:04And here it comes.
01:09:05Here it comes.
01:09:10Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:09:13Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:09:14Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:09:16What's your mother?
01:09:16Let's get into it, I don't know.
01:09:23This is a lying, callous, rotten, that dirty, rotten, miserable.
01:09:30I'll pay you back for this.
01:09:37I still say you shouldn't have done it.
01:09:39I say you had it coming to him.
01:09:41To let your best friend think we've been killed?
01:09:43My best friend, I...
01:09:43Oh, shut up, you make me sick.
01:09:55What's the matter, officer?
01:09:58You again?
01:09:59What's going on? This car's been reported stolen.
01:10:01Can't be them, Dave.
01:10:02The report said it was stolen only half an hour ago.
01:10:04It's that idiot we're racing, the one I told you about.
01:10:07He put in a false report?
01:10:08Looks like it, officer.
01:10:10You know, I'm afraid he's a little insane.
01:10:11He wouldn't stop at anything to win this race.
01:10:13Wouldn't he?
01:10:14Where is he now?
01:10:16That's him there.
01:10:17All right, you go on.
01:10:18We'll deal with him.
01:10:21Don't be too hard on him, will you?
01:10:23He can't really help it, you know.
01:10:24Oh!
01:10:31What's up, officer?
01:10:32Your name's up?
01:10:33Claverhouse.
01:10:34Ambrose Claverhouse.
01:10:35Did you report a stolen car?
01:10:37What?
01:10:38Stolen car?
01:10:39No!
01:10:40Why, this is my car, officer.
01:10:42May I see your license, sir?
01:10:43Yes, of course.
01:10:47Well...
01:10:49Well, wait a minute, I've...
01:10:52Ambrose!
01:10:53Stop it!
01:10:56You'll have to stop somewhere for a minute.
01:10:58What?
01:10:59Oh, no, not now.
01:11:01Surely you can...
01:11:02No, I can't.
01:11:03If you don't mind.
01:11:05Oh.
01:11:06But, officer, I had new wicks put in all the lamps only last week.
01:11:10That tower's meant to be loose.
01:11:11It's been like that for the last 49 years.
01:11:13It'd be more regular to have him sign a proper statement at the station.
01:11:17Oh, but fair's fair, officer.
01:11:19You kept a shower for four minutes already.
01:11:21If you don't need this girl now, we won't even stand a chance.
01:11:23All right, but I'll warn you.
01:11:24Ah, thank you, officer.
01:11:25One more trick like that and you'll be in real trouble.
01:11:28I'll let that kill you.
01:11:33There, that'll do.
01:12:11I'll tell you straight off that's the most disgusting trick I've ever known a man to play.
01:12:14Which trick?
01:12:15Stealing the top of my float chamber or telling the police I'd stolen my own car.
01:12:18You started all that.
01:12:19You can't even cheat on a decent basis.
01:12:21You'd better think you'd been killed.
01:12:23Oh, well.
01:12:23The report of my death was, what was it, the man said, greatly exaggerated.
01:12:27Who cares about your death?
01:12:29I was thinking about Wendy.
01:12:30If it weren't for Wendy, I'd give you a lesson you'd never forget.
01:12:33Have you ever seen anything like it?
01:12:35Is it really like this every year?
01:12:37Not quite like this.
01:12:38No, if you feel in an instructive mood.
01:12:40I warn you, I'm almost at braking point.
01:12:42Go on, then brake.
01:12:43I warn you.
01:12:44What are you waiting for?
01:12:45What are you waiting for?
01:12:45What are you waiting for?
01:12:47What goes on inside their heads?
01:12:49That's what I'd like to know.
01:12:50Don't know about your husband, but Ambrose seems to think of only two things.
01:12:54That silly old car and the other thing.
01:12:56What other thing?
01:12:59Oh, no, my husband only thinks about the car.
01:13:08Oh, dear.
01:13:12Now, then, now, then.
01:13:13Move along here.
01:13:14Move along there.
01:13:15Move along there.
01:13:16Oh, God!
01:13:17Oh, no!
01:13:19All right, come on, break it up.
01:13:20Come on, sir.
01:13:21Come on, break it up.
01:13:22Break it up.
01:13:24Don't look at me.
01:13:25He started all this.
01:13:26I was only thinking of her.
01:13:31First, you decide to stage a race on a public highway.
01:13:34Not in sound cars with decent brakes, but in two museum pieces,
01:13:38which were out of date 40 years ago.
01:13:40Oh, officer, really?
01:13:41Then you go tearing through a restricted area at 50 miles per hour.
01:13:45He can't do 50 miles per hour.
01:13:46Then you put in false reports to the police.
01:13:49Then you decide you can't be satisfied unless you bash each other's brains out.
01:13:53Well, there was nothing to address.
01:13:55Now, we wouldn't like you gentlemen to think we were being unreasonable.
01:13:58Oh, thank you very much.
01:13:59But if there's one more bit of trouble from either of you...
01:14:03We'll pull you in on so many different charges,
01:14:06you won't be out in time for next year's Brighton run.
01:14:09Let's go.
01:14:10These two will drive me barmy.
01:14:11All right, come on, now.
01:14:13All right, now.
01:14:13It's all over.
01:14:15You shouldn't encourage them, you know.
01:14:17Go on, now.
01:14:19This is the end.
01:14:20Making a public spectacle of yourselves.
01:14:22Oh, well.
01:14:23I wouldn't have believed you could have behaved like this.
01:14:25Either of you.
01:14:26Just hauling like bruligans.
01:14:29Hauling like bruligans?
01:14:31We're brawling like bruligans.
01:14:33Oh, he was hauling like a bruligan, not me.
01:14:35Don't you call me a bruligan?
01:14:36It's not funny.
01:14:38Oh, for goodness sake, let's go home.
01:14:41All right, let's call the whole thing off and have a party.
01:14:44Look, the pub will be open in ten minutes.
01:14:45What do you say?
01:14:46All right, that's a good idea.
01:14:47Come on, let's go.
01:14:48Oh, she's served lovely cream.
01:14:49Yes, let's have four doubles.
01:14:51All eyes, pink and white.
01:14:52All eyes, pink and white.
01:14:55All eyes, pink and white.
01:14:57Oh, what are you laughing about?
01:15:00Look!
01:15:02Oh!
01:15:02Here we are!
01:15:04Doubles all round.
01:15:05Cheers, my dears.
01:15:09I was wondering what that chap you bashed into told his wife.
01:15:13Tell me, how did you get behind us back at Pease Pottage?
01:15:16Eh?
01:15:17Oh, well, we picked up an expectant father looking for the district nurse.
01:15:20Yes.
01:15:20In the time I wasted with him, I could have delivered the brat myself.
01:15:25These are good.
01:15:28You know, everything considered, we made jolly good time.
01:15:32Oh, I don't know.
01:15:34If we'd really wanted to, we could have been in London two hours ago.
01:15:38Why weren't you then?
01:15:39I didn't want to take your money, Osport.
01:15:41Asked Roslyn.
01:15:42Didn't I say to you, Roslyn?
01:15:42If you didn't want to take the money, why did you make the bet?
01:15:44Well, heat in the moment, old boy.
01:15:46As soon as I realised you hadn't a chance.
01:15:48A chance?
01:15:48We were ahead of you.
01:15:50Now, look.
01:15:52But there's still nine miles to the bridge.
01:15:54You don't think you'd have stayed ahead of us, do you?
01:15:55I most certainly do.
01:15:56What difference does it make?
01:15:57Who's ahead of who?
01:15:59It makes every difference.
01:16:00It was his idea we'd call off the race.
01:16:02Do you really think you'd stand an earthly?
01:16:03I have a good mind to hold you to that bet.
01:16:05Hold me?
01:16:06As far as I'm concerned, the bet's still on.
01:16:07Oh, you're not serious.
01:16:08Right.
01:16:09But if that old crock of yours falls to pieces, you've asked for it.
01:16:12Come on, Roslyn.
01:16:13First on Westminster Bridge.
01:16:14You're on.
01:16:14Here we go again.
01:16:15Why can't you be reasonable?
01:16:17He gave you a chance to call it off.
01:16:24Look, there's just one thing.
01:16:25Whatever you think of that car, she'll fetch £100 tomorrow.
01:16:27Is that right?
01:16:28Oh, easily, but I don't...
01:16:29All right.
01:16:29The bet's still on me if I lose.
01:16:31I won't pay you £100.
01:16:32I'll give you Genevieve.
01:16:34Genevieve?
01:16:34Oh, look, Anna, that's what...
01:16:35Well, that's fair enough, isn't it?
01:16:37Well, I never...
01:16:37First over the bridge.
01:16:38First over the bridge.
01:16:39Get in, Roslyn.
01:16:44But, Alan, surely you don't...
01:16:45There's no money involved.
01:16:46I'm betting the car.
01:16:47It's got nothing whatever to do with you.
01:16:48So if you don't like it, you can get out and take a bus.
01:16:52Look, don't you think this is getting a little out of that?
01:16:53What's it got to do with you?
01:16:55You heard what he said?
01:16:56Either get out of this car and take that silly mutt with you...
01:16:58...or stop your blasted nattering.
01:17:00That crock of yours forced to pieces.
01:17:03A silly ass.
01:17:08Do you really think you can beat him?
01:17:10Of course I can.
01:17:11First on Westminster bridge.
01:17:13Okay.
01:17:32Come on, Alan.
01:17:42Come on, Alan.
01:17:43Come along.
01:17:44Come on.
01:17:44We're in a race.
01:17:45Oh, come on.
01:17:46Hurry.
01:17:47Come on.
01:17:48Come along.
01:17:52Take her out of the way.
01:17:53Hurry up.
01:17:54Hurry up.
01:17:54Hurry up.
01:17:55I won't buy ice cream.
01:17:58Hurry up.
01:17:59Hurry up.
01:18:00Come on.
01:18:01Hurry up.
01:18:02Come on.
01:18:03Come on.
01:18:03Oh, yes.
01:18:04Come on.
01:18:05Of course you can.
01:18:06It's all right.
01:18:08She's missing.
01:18:09They're coming.
01:18:11Oh.
01:18:13They're coming.
01:18:14Come on.
01:18:15Come on.
01:18:16Come on.
01:18:17Come on.
01:18:17Come on.
01:18:35Oh, my God.
01:18:49What's this?
01:18:51This is ridiculous.
01:18:53Get out of it.
01:18:55Move on, madam.
01:18:57What's that?
01:18:57I'm a woman driver.
01:19:02Get out of it!
01:19:12Get out of the way, man!
01:19:17Well, go on, man! Pull over! Pull over!
01:19:27No! Look at the lorry!
01:19:30Hey!
01:19:32I want to get out of here! I'm in a race!
01:19:38You wait!
01:19:40Come on, jump back! I don't want to get out of here!
01:19:50Get out of here! I can't move out of here! I've got time to talk about it!
01:19:55Oh, blast!
01:20:05Come on!
01:20:06He's coming!
01:20:13You wait! That couple's on my side!
01:20:16You wait! Is that over yet?
01:20:21Who's precious? A derrick!
01:20:26A derrick, sir!
01:20:27Oh, my word, sir! You forgive me speaking to you without an introduction. She's beautiful, sir! Beautiful!
01:20:32This is the first car I ever owned, sir, at Derrick. Aristocrats, all of them!
01:20:36But there's not scratch, aren't there, Mr.
01:20:38You!
01:20:40I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to excuse me.
01:20:42This is the first car that I ever owned, sir, at Derrick.
01:20:44I'm sorry, sir. You'll have to excuse me.
01:20:46I never believed it possible, if you knew the pleasure it gives me to see this wonderful car and so
01:20:51wonderfully kept it.
01:20:52It's always too good. I wish my wife was here.
01:20:56Yes, sir, it was in a derrick exactly like this one that I asked my wife to marry me.
01:21:011904, sir, it was. Pangborn. And she said, yes, but, oh, it was the car. I'm sure of that. It
01:21:06was the car.
01:21:11See, I hope I'm not holding you up.
01:21:14Not at all, sir.
01:21:16I knew the chaps like you, you know, keeping up these old cars.
01:21:18We don't get about as much as we used to, you know.
01:21:21No.
01:21:23Look, perhaps you'd like me to come over. I'll give you a drive in the sun time.
01:21:26Do you mean to say, but that's very kind. Would you really do that?
01:21:29I simply can't tell you. Wait a moment. I'm sure I've got a car.
01:21:32Your wife might like to come, too. You can take the wheel yourself, if you like.
01:21:35I say, sir, that.
01:21:36Tomorrow evening?
01:21:37Tomorrow?
01:21:39Oh, I'm very grateful, sir. Very grateful indeed.
01:21:42Good day, sir. Good day, madam. God bless you. God bless you.
01:22:02A wonderful old man.
01:22:05Wasn't he?
01:22:07Oh, Alan.
01:22:09What's the matter?
01:22:11What are you crying about?
01:22:13Oh, darling, when you just sat there.
01:22:15When you just sat there, I knew what you were thinking.
01:22:18I knew you wouldn't just drive away and leave him.
01:22:20Come on, Wendy. You know I don't like to see you cry.
01:22:23But you've lost her. You've lost Genevieve.
01:22:27I'll survive.
01:22:28Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.
01:22:30Wendy, stop it, will you?
01:22:32There's no reason to cry.
01:22:35I mean, a bet's a bet I wouldn't have made it if I hadn't been prepared to lose.
01:22:37But Genevieve means more to you than anything.
01:22:40You know she does.
01:22:42Nonsense.
01:22:44You'll give him the money instead.
01:22:45Promise me you will.
01:22:46Wendy, be sensible.
01:22:47Promise me. I shall hate myself for the rest of my life.
01:22:50We'll talk about it.
01:22:51No. No, you can always talk me into anything.
01:22:54Say you will.
01:22:55Well, if...
01:22:56Say it.
01:22:58All right.
01:22:59But it'll leave us practically painless.
01:23:01Who cares about that?
01:23:18Look!
01:23:19You only find it.
01:23:21You only find it.
01:23:24You only find it.
01:23:25Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
01:23:27All right, all right, all right!
01:23:29All right, all right, all right!
01:23:38It's all right, thank you.
01:23:40Come on.
01:23:43Come on, Wendy.
01:23:44All right, off we go.
01:23:45Right.
01:23:48Come on.
01:23:48Get out of here.
01:23:49Now, that's the lot.
01:23:50Now, get out of here!
01:23:59No!
01:24:05Look, there they are!
01:24:15No!
01:24:19She's stalled!
01:24:21Push the pedal!
01:24:26Oh!
01:24:27Oh!
01:24:29Push the pedal!
01:24:38You get in and steer.
01:24:42Come on, push!
01:24:44I am pushing!
01:24:48Oh!
01:24:51Oh, come on!
01:24:57There!
01:25:04Ha-ha!
01:25:05We got him!
01:25:07Here!
01:25:11Stop!
01:25:13Oh!
01:25:14Oh!
01:25:27Ha-ha!
01:25:29Ha-ha-ha!
01:25:54You wait till next year!
01:25:56You wait!
01:25:57If I drive without driving, I'd show you.
01:25:59I'd be there to us, good boy!
