00:15Excuse me, Susan.
00:17Morning, Dave.
00:17Good morning.
00:18Help me with this one.
00:22I suppose in the capacity of tutor it would be childish of me to ask what all this is.
00:28That's right.
00:30But it is something, is it?
00:33As you can see.
00:38And this is your entry for the end of term show.
00:41When you see these boxes piled up, you'll see boxes as you've never seen them before.
00:45They'll open your eyes.
00:47Yes, I'm sure.
00:48And you'll say to yourself, well, they're not so bad after all.
00:52I think I'll take a proper look at them before.
00:55How useful they are, how economic, how well they suit our sort of society.
01:00Well, before I pause to write all this down in my wisdom book, does the exhibit have a title?
01:07Carboard boxes?
01:08Boxes, yes.
01:13Fancy bit?
01:16Wonderful.
01:17Wonderful thing.
01:28Definitely got architectonic strength, Arthur.
01:31Thanks, Derek.
01:33The spatial textures are all moving to action.
01:38Good on you, Derek.
01:40Friend of term showing, is it?
01:42Yeah.
01:42That's if you approve, Derek.
01:45I think the whole thing is in the spirit of motorbike energy.
01:51Could do with a bit more shine on the exhaust pipes, but otherwise it's, um...
01:58Carry on with the good work, Arthur.
02:01I think it's one of the finest models I've ever seen.
02:04Yes.
02:08I'm very grateful, Derek.
02:11Flats, no sugar, Gerald.
02:12Uh, sugar and all the pills.
02:15I need a computer to get all that right.
02:20Has Derek never realised you work on your bike while you're here?
02:23Oh, no.
02:24Why should he?
02:24Oh, you're short by an hour, you'd find that.
02:26Where else am I going to do it?
02:27Out on the street, then?
02:28Your landlady.
02:30Mother Kemp won't let me in the garage.
02:31So.
02:34So?
02:37Hey, why don't you work on your bike at Mother Kemp's?
02:39The other lady's got a big garage.
02:40I've just been through all that, Gerald.
02:42You don't have to keep conning poor old Derek all the time.
02:43And I don't want to go through it again.
02:47So?
02:47So.
02:50Well, then, what about the college dance?
02:53What's everything, dear?
02:54I'm looking forward to it.
02:56End of term's the same.
02:57End of term, dance, I'm not.
02:58What's the matter with you?
02:59Well, that dance doesn't make any difference to the fact that...
03:04Well, you know, it's like a cheap perk for coming out of term,
03:07all towing the line and no revolution, right?
03:10No.
03:10Well, I've never been to one of them dances
03:12that was any more different or memorable than the next.
03:15Hey, do you remember them twin sisters
03:16who used to work at the cash and carry store?
03:18I wonder if they'll be there this year.
03:22I'm going for a walk.
03:23Coming?
03:23Um, sorry, I can't afford the shoe leather.
03:25Oh, Gerald?
03:26See you next week.
03:27Thanks a bunch.
03:29It's all right.
03:57It's all right.
04:13So you're definitely going to the dance on Saturday?
04:15What?
04:16End of term, Dan.
04:18Oh, yeah, I'll be there.
04:21I'll be in London this weekend.
04:24Oh, don't miss it, Dan.
04:25I'll be there.
04:30Oh, yeah.
04:32Let's go.
04:34Oh, yeah.
04:39That's it.
04:44Yeah.
04:53There you go.
04:56I'm going to the dance, huh?
04:57Oh, good job.
05:34I'm going to the dance.
06:13Have you seen Susan?
06:33A bit past all this, aren't you?
07:03I'm going to the dance.
07:04I'm going to the dance.
07:28Yeah.
07:34I'm going to the dance.
07:35I'm going to the dance.
07:48I'm going to the dance.
08:18No.
08:20Are you at the college?
08:23No.
08:27I'm Arthur.
08:31So?
08:32Arthur, really, but it's better sure.
08:37I've always been called after, you know.
08:40Yes?
08:42Look, would you like to dance?
08:45No.
08:47There's an orange in the machine.
08:49Do you want a drink?
08:50I'm all right, thanks.
08:51Yes.
08:52Oh, do you fancy that?
08:57Well, I mean, are you on your own?
09:02Yes.
09:03No far?
09:05That's right.
09:06That's good.
09:07I'm by myself as well.
09:09I know.
09:11I've been watching you.
09:15Oh.
09:18Well, did you like what you saw?
09:22I want...
09:25Yes?
09:31Shall we go now?
09:32Go?
09:33Hey.
09:33I've only just got here.
09:35No, I want to go.
09:36Do you mean...
09:37Go?
09:37Or do you mean, er...
09:39Go with me?
09:42I mean, go.
09:43Go now.
09:44We must go alone.
09:45Hey, look.
09:45It's a bit quick, isn't it?
09:47I mean, I thought I might, you know, stay a while and afterwards, I mean...
09:50No.
09:51Look, after all, we've got all night.
09:58Please.
09:59Look, I'm just finishing this, er, dance, all right?
10:02Ah.
10:04Look.
10:05Don't interrupt me while I'm dancing.
10:07I'm not really well married to you, you know.
10:10Because I want you to take me home.
10:15Home?
10:17No.
10:17But I...
10:18I thought you wanted to go with me.
10:21Not home.
10:22Home.
10:25No.
10:26Please.
10:29Well, I will or I won't.
10:30I don't know.
10:31I'm, er, thinking about it.
10:34But I want you to take me home.
10:36But now this minute, you must be joking.
10:39No.
10:39Definitely not.
10:41I beg you to.
10:44I'll take you home.
10:44See ya.
10:45Are you here?
10:47I'll take you outside if you're not feeling too well.
10:49Yeah.
10:50I'll take you outside.
10:56Where?
10:57It's Adam.
10:58Oh, I've never heard of it.
10:59It's on the downs.
11:00What?
11:01That's miles in the opposite direction from me.
11:04Take me there.
11:05Well, how far is it?
11:07It's halfway to Willem.
11:08Oh, no.
11:08You're crazy.
11:09That's 17 miles or so.
11:11I mean, I might not have enough petrol in...
11:13But you've got to.
11:13Oh, I've got to.
11:15You must.

14:18Er, did Sarah get home all night last night?
14:22Did what?
14:23Sorry, er, Sarah Stone.
14:25I'm her father.
14:29What did you say?
14:31Well, I was wondering whether Sarah got back all right last night, you see.
14:36I was giving her lift home and she sort of, er...
14:39I don't understand you.
14:41You did what?
14:43I'm sorry, er, Sarah Stone, does she live here?
14:47She did.
14:48Oh, she doesn't anymore?
14:49No.
14:50Oh.

17:46I didn't see Arthur today. He's been sitting in his room all week. I think he's a bit depressed about
17:51not exhibiting anything at the end of time.
17:52Oh, well, if you're out tomorrow, it's the dance.
18:05It's all right, then.
18:07Shame to miss the dance tomorrow, but there it is. Passion calls in London.
