00:00:07Music
00:00:23There it is.
00:00:25Finishing Hospital.
00:00:26Our next job.
00:00:27What, a maternity hospital?
00:00:29That's it.
00:00:30Headquarters of the famous pudding club.
00:00:32What have they got to nick in there?
00:00:33Pills.
00:00:34Pills?
00:00:35Not just ordinary pills.
00:00:36The pill.
00:00:37They've got hundreds of thousands of them in there.
00:00:39What, in a maternity hospital?
00:00:41It's a bit like closing the stable door off the horse has gone, isn't it?
00:00:43No, no, no.
00:00:44They're just stored there for use in the family planning clinics.
00:00:48But, Dad, if they're handing them out free, what are you going to make out of them?
00:00:50Nothing here, son.
00:00:52But I know a couple of countries that'll take as many as they can get and pay a bloody fortune
00:00:56for them.
00:01:04Oh, Miss Willings, sir, you're leaving us.
00:01:06Yeah, not exactly empty-handed, neither.
00:01:08Oh, now, now, you mustn't be bitter about it.
00:01:11You have a beautiful baby there.
00:01:13I wish I had one like it.
00:01:15Yes, well, if you run into the same bloke as I did, you can have one.
00:01:23Who's this, then?
00:01:24That's Bernard Cutty, the head chopper.
00:01:30Oh, another little angel leaving the fold.
00:01:32Let me have a last look at the little chair.
00:01:36You can have him for capes as far as I'm concerned.
00:01:38Careful, my dear.
00:01:39I may take you up on that.
00:01:40Oh, he's a splendid little fellow, isn't he?
00:01:43Yes, he is.
00:01:45Oh, I think you can have him back now.
00:01:49Again?
00:01:49That's the fifth this morning.
00:01:51You must have a knee.
00:01:52I think he's just had one.
00:01:56Good morning, Sir Bernard.
00:01:57Morning, Arthur.
00:01:58Good morning, Sir Bernard.
00:01:59Good morning, Matron.
00:01:59How are you today?
00:02:00I'm all right.
00:02:01Good.
00:02:02Why, shouldn't I be all right?
00:02:03I look all right, don't I?
00:02:04Oh, you've never looked better, Sir Bernard.
00:02:06Then why did you ask me how I was?
00:02:09Oh, no particular reason, just with all this Asian flu about.
00:02:13What Asian flu?
00:02:14Oh, it's only what I read in the papers.
00:02:17You can't believe a thing you read in the papers.
00:02:21Asian flu, indeed.
00:02:23What a lot of rubbish.
00:02:24Would you like to do the rounds now, Sir Bernard?
00:02:27What?
00:02:27No, no, I can't be bothered with all that today.
00:02:29I don't feel well enough.
00:02:30I think I've got Asian flu.
00:02:35Poor Sir Bernard.
00:02:36He's only got to read of some complaint,
00:02:38and he's convinced he's got it.
00:02:40I wonder if he's read Gone with the Wind.
00:02:43Here we go.
00:02:45Rich.
00:02:47Aye.
00:02:48Influenza.
00:02:49Asian.
00:02:50Asian flu.
00:02:51Highly infectious virus disease,
00:02:53often resulting in death.
00:02:55De-
00:02:55Death?
00:02:58Symptoms.
00:02:59Fever.
00:03:00Dizziness.
00:03:02Rapid pulse.
00:03:03Yellowing of the eyeballs.
00:03:05Calls.
00:03:16Any news yet, then?
00:03:17Oh, Mr. Tardy, are you still here?
00:03:19Of course I'm still here.
00:03:20I've been here since 10.42 last night, haven't I?
00:03:23I should know.
00:03:24I'd just seen the 10.17 off to Reading, hadn't I?
00:03:26Did you, indeed?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27Stopping at all stations, set it in and type it, hadn't it?
00:03:29Quite.
00:03:30And haven't you had your baby yet?
00:03:32Well, of course I haven't.
00:03:33I wouldn't be still here, would I?
00:03:35Here.
00:03:36What's gone wrong?
00:03:37What's happening?
00:03:38Perhaps we're running a little late, Mr. Tardy.
00:03:40Well, I can't hang around here.
00:03:42I've got work to do, you know.
00:03:44Well, I'm just going round the wards and find out what the situation is.
00:03:47Yeah, and tell her I've been hanging around all bluey night again, will you?
00:03:49And tell her to get her finger out!
00:03:54You wait here.
00:03:55I'll case the joint.
00:04:06Good morning.
00:04:07Visiting?
00:04:08Well, I'm not producing.
00:04:10I mean, are you expecting a baby or what?
00:04:12Oh, definitely a baby.
00:04:14I don't like what's.
00:04:15The waiting room is over there.
00:04:17Thank you, mate.
00:04:19If it's a boy, I'll name him happy after you.
00:04:30Bye!
00:04:33Blimey, she looked upset.
00:04:34Look.
00:04:34I'm not surprised.
00:04:35I just told her she was pregnant.
00:04:36What?
00:04:37Is she really?
00:04:38No, but it certainly cured her hiccups.
00:04:42Excuse me.
00:04:43Er, yes?
00:04:44Are you expecting, or have you had it?
00:04:46No, but if you can spare the town.
00:04:48Wait in there, please.
00:04:55Thank you, Sam, for you.
00:04:56Yeah, that's right.
00:04:57Yeah, but it don't mean nothing, you know.
00:04:58No?
00:04:58No.
00:04:59The last two weeks, they said for me nine times.
00:05:01All I've had so far is a cup of tea and a biscuit.
00:05:03It's not good enough, mate.
00:05:05If I were you, I'd tell them to forget it.
00:05:07How can you forget it?
00:05:08Cancel the whole thing.
00:05:10But we've done it, haven't we?
00:05:12How can you cancel it?
00:05:13Tell them you've changed your mind.
00:05:21She got away!
00:05:25Has she had it then?
00:05:28Aye.
00:05:31Come.
00:05:34Could you get me the Guinness Book of Records, please?
00:05:37Uh!
00:05:41Oh!
00:05:42Oh! I'm afraid!
00:05:45Good morning, Nesvold.
00:05:47Good morning, Matron.
00:05:48Where's Sister?
00:05:48In delivery, Matron.
00:05:50Mrs. Hotchkiss has just gone in.
00:05:51Oh, good.
00:05:51And what about Mrs. Tidy?
00:05:53Afraid not.
00:05:53She's back here again.
00:05:59Another false alarm, Mrs. Tidy.
00:06:01I'm afraid so, Matron.
00:06:02Do you know what I reckon?
00:06:03It was just wind again.
00:06:04I wouldn't be at all surprised.
00:06:07Well, now, you're three weeks overdue,
00:06:09and your husband's getting very impatient.
00:06:12Him?
00:06:13Well, he can talk.
00:06:15Took him seven years to get me pregnant.
00:06:17Now I am.
00:06:17I'm going to enjoy myself.
00:06:19Well, if nothing happens very soon,
00:06:20we must think about inducing labour.
00:06:22What, just to please him?
00:06:24Oh, it's only a bit over nine months.
00:06:26He should be thankful I'm not an elephant.
00:06:28Well, I'm sure we're all very thankful for that, Mrs. Tidy.
00:06:34Now, stop being silly, Mrs. Pullet.
00:06:36Your baby's perfectly all right.
00:06:38He's not.
00:06:39He's not.
00:06:40What's the matter, nurse?
00:06:41Oh, it's nothing, Matron.
00:06:43What do you mean, nothing?
00:06:44I tell you there's something wrong with him.
00:06:46Nonsense, Mrs. Pullet.
00:06:47You have a fine little boy.
00:06:49Well, take a look at his little thing, then.
00:06:51Here's what...
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:53Well, I can't see anything wrong with it.
00:06:56But it's all bent to one side.
00:06:59Now, don't you worry, Mrs. Pullet.
00:07:01We'll have everything straightened out before you leave us.
00:07:05How the hell can we change our minds?
00:07:08I mean, you can't undo what's already been done, can you?
00:07:11What's been done, then?
00:07:12She has.
00:07:13Is she?
00:07:14She's over.
00:07:15Nine months gone.
00:07:16Don't worry, mate.
00:07:17She'll come back.
00:07:21What the hell can you come back?
00:07:25Uh, Matron.
00:07:27Oh.
00:07:29Well, what's that one?
00:07:30Oh, I'm afraid it was another false alarm, Mr. Tidy.
00:07:32You may as well go back to work.
00:07:33Go back to work?
00:07:34It was due three weeks ago.
00:07:36Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Tidy, but babies tend to arrive when they feel like it.
00:07:40There's nothing we can do about it.
00:07:42It's a fine state of affairs, isn't it?
00:07:45We'd soon be in a right old mess, wouldn't we, if we ran the railways like that.
00:07:48I was under the impression that you did.
00:08:04Can I help you at all?
00:08:05Uh, no, sir, I'm, uh, just passing the time.
00:08:08Are you awaiting a birth?
00:08:10Uh, yes, that's it.
00:08:10Who are you?
00:08:11Uh, the father, I hope.
00:08:13What name is it?
00:08:14Name?
00:08:15What's your name?
00:08:16Oh, my name!
00:08:16Uh, I, uh, that's funny.
00:08:19I know I had one when I came in here.
00:08:21Uh, hang on, let me think.
00:08:23Uh...
00:08:24Mr. Hotchkiss?
00:08:25That's it, Hotchkiss.
00:08:26That's me.
00:08:27Well, congratulations, Mr. Hotchkiss.
00:08:29Your wife's had twin boys.
00:08:31Get away.
00:08:33Oh, that's very nice.
00:08:34Thank you very much.
00:08:35Thank you, too.
00:08:36Yes, well, I'll be, uh, I'll be pushing off, then.
00:08:38But don't you want to see them, or your wife?
00:08:40Uh, no, not just now, thanks.
00:08:41I've got the girlfriend waiting outside.
00:08:46That'll do, sister.
00:08:53Get moving!
00:08:53What's all about, Dad?
00:08:54I've just become the father of twins!
00:08:56Congratulations!
00:08:57Oh, shut up!
00:08:58Come on, get!
00:08:58Hurry up!
00:09:07Did you find out where they keep the pills in?
00:09:09No, didn't have time.
00:09:11But I reckon I know how to now.
00:09:12Now, son, you're going to go to work at last.
00:09:15Dad, couldn't you possibly manage without me?
00:09:18You're getting on, boy.
00:09:19You've got to start work sometime, haven't you?
00:09:21Yes, well, the fact is I've had this offer of a job.
00:09:23In insurance.
00:09:24Would you believe it?
00:09:24He wants to go straight before he's even been crooked.
00:09:26No, he doesn't mean it, do you, sir?
00:09:28Of course he doesn't.
00:09:28Yes, I do.
00:09:29He does.
00:09:30Good job your poor mother isn't around to her, you say that.
00:09:33You promised on a deathbed that you go into business with your father.
00:09:35Yes, well, I was six years old at the time.
00:09:37Son, I'm depending on you.
00:09:39You're the only bloke I know who could possibly do what I've got in mind.
00:09:42Well, if you really mean that, Dad, I suppose.
00:09:43That's my boy.
00:09:44What exactly do you want me to do?
00:09:46Well, if I could get somebody into this hospital officially, they'd be able to nose about a bit, wouldn't they?
00:09:51You mean me?
00:09:52You've got to...
00:09:53But, Dad, it's a maternity hospital.
00:09:54No, no, no, not as a patient.
00:09:56Thank goodness for that.
00:09:57As a nurse.
00:10:02Well, your pulse beat's all right, Sir Bernard.
00:10:05Strong?
00:10:06Beautifully strong.
00:10:10And that's all right, too.
00:10:12Normal?
00:10:14Wonderfully normal.
00:10:15Well, it wasn't half an hour ago.
00:10:16I was right up.
00:10:18You asked Miss Banks, wasn't I just?
00:10:19Yes.
00:10:19Well, I can assure you, whatever else you may have, it certainly is not Asian flu.
00:10:25Of course not.
00:10:27I knew that.
00:10:28I could have told you.
00:10:30What do you mean about whatever else I might have had?
00:10:33Oh, well, you were probably suffering from some slight digestive upset or something.
00:10:39How are your bowels?
00:10:40My bowels?
00:10:42They're perfectly all right.
00:10:43Why bring them into it?
00:10:44Well, as you well know, Sir Bernard, irregularity can cause slight fever symptoms.
00:10:49I'm not a regular.
00:10:52I'll have you know I'm one of the most regular fellows in the business.
00:10:56Oh, as long as you have no pain or discomfort.
00:10:58Certainly not.
00:10:59Now, if you'll kindly both stop fussing and go, I have work to do.
00:11:03Very well, Sir Bernard.
00:11:07Oh, there was one small problem, Sir Bernard.
00:11:10Yes, yes.
00:11:11What is it?
00:11:11Mrs. Tidy in Bunwater, do you know?
00:11:13Yes, yes.
00:11:14What about her?
00:11:15Well, she's three weeks over her time and I was wondering whether we oughtn't to consider bringing it on.
00:11:19Bring it on?
00:11:20Bring what on?
00:11:21Why, the birth.
00:11:23Bring it on.
00:11:24Bring it off.
00:11:24What do I care?
00:11:25Oh, really, Sir Bernard.
00:11:28Can't anyone else make a decision around here?
00:11:30Ask Dr. Prod.
00:11:31I've got far more important things to worry about.
00:11:34Very well, Sir Bernard.
00:11:35And if you'll take my advice, you'll lie down and have a good rest.
00:11:40I don't need a good rest.
00:11:42I'm perfectly all right, do you hear?
00:11:44B. Bowels.
00:11:47Diseases of...
00:11:47Diseases of the powers.
00:11:54All right, you can get dressed again, Mr. Jenkins.
00:11:58Born my soul if it ain't Nurse Ball, the fairest flower of them all.
00:12:02A present for you, Doctor.
00:12:04No, no, you cannot tempt me with strong drink.
00:12:06Funny.
00:12:07Those were my exact words to you when I first came here.
00:12:10Touché.
00:12:12Fresh as a mountain stream.
00:12:14Well, why don't you take your shoes and socks off and have a nice paddle?
00:12:18I'll get you in the end, you little minx.
00:12:26Well, Doctor?
00:12:28Yes, I'm afraid you're pregnant again, Mrs. Jenkins.
00:12:30What?
00:12:32You're pregnant again!
00:12:33Oh, no, not again.
00:12:35It's too much.
00:12:36It really is.
00:12:37I thought you were going to stop all that nonsense.
00:12:39What?
00:12:40I thought you were going to stop having relations.
00:12:43Oh, I've tried, Doctor.
00:12:45But you know what it is?
00:12:46My husband gets into bed and he says,
00:12:48Are you going to sleep or what?
00:12:50And you say, what?
00:12:52Well, that settles it this time.
00:12:55Whether he likes it or not, I'm going to use something from now on.
00:12:58You better, Mrs. Jenkins.
00:13:00What do you think's the safest, Doctor?
00:13:02For you, Mrs. Jenkins, a hearing aid.
00:13:05What?
00:13:05Oh, dear.
00:13:13Come on, son, hurry up.
00:13:15I want to get you in there by six.
00:13:16I'm nearly ready.
00:13:18Funny, women always take the long time dressing.
00:13:20Especially when they're men.
00:13:26Well, this is the best I can do.
00:13:28Oh, fancy you, dear.
00:13:30Cyril!
00:13:31You look...
00:13:32You look lovely!
00:13:34Come off it.
00:13:35Hello, Jimmy.
00:13:35Get off!
00:13:36Leave her alone.
00:13:38What do you think, Dad?
00:13:40Dad?
00:13:41What's the matter?
00:13:42Nothing.
00:13:43It's a bit of a shock, that's all.
00:13:45I've seen your poor old mum standing there again.
00:13:48Well, I think he looks lovely.
00:13:50He could have fooled me any time.
00:13:51Yeah, well, that shouldn't be too difficult.
00:13:53I still think we ought to get a woman to do it.
00:13:55No, no, son.
00:13:57In this business, you'll never want to trust a woman to do anything you can do yourself.
00:14:02Well, I reckon he'll pass.
00:14:03What do you say, Fred?
00:14:04Oh, I think, you know, couldn't he do with a bit more here?
00:14:07What for?
00:14:08Well, I agree with Freddie.
00:14:09I'd like to see a bit more.
00:14:10You would.
00:14:12Don't you realise that's the point?
00:14:13He doesn't want to draw attention to himself, does he?
00:14:16If you make him any bigger, everybody's going to start gawping, aren't they?
00:14:18I could stick a couple of socks in there, Dad.
00:14:20No, no, no.
00:14:21Forget it.
00:14:21They're just a couple of knockers.
00:14:23Them, I mean.
00:14:25Look at that.
00:14:27The skirt's a bit tight, isn't it?
00:14:28I like seeing women in tight skirts, especially from behind.
00:14:32Shut up.
00:14:34What you got under here, tin drawers?
00:14:41What the hell have you got your trousers on for?
00:14:43What's the matter?
00:14:43Nobody's going to look up there, are they?
00:14:45How do you know?
00:14:46You're a nurse, aren't you?
00:14:47A patient might drop in a dead faint at your feet.
00:14:50Come to, look up.
00:14:51What's she going to see?
00:14:52A lot more without these on.
00:14:55Shut up laughing.
00:14:56Did you get the knickers?
00:14:57Yeah, black lace ones.
00:14:59I'll get some strange looks from the shop assistants as well, I can tell you.
00:15:01No, don't get them.
00:15:02Go on.
00:15:03Dad, nurses don't wear black lace ones.
00:15:06They don't wear rolled up trousers either.
00:15:10Here they are.
00:15:12Well, those are all right.
00:15:13What's the matter with that?
00:15:14Apart from anything else, there's no opening in the front.
00:15:16Well, of course there isn't.
00:15:17Women don't have them.
00:15:18I know that.
00:15:18Well, shut up arguing and put them on.
00:15:20All right, Dad.
00:15:22Couldn't I go disguised as a male orderly?
00:15:24Are you a raving man?
00:15:26Have you ever heard of a male orderly wearing black lace knickers?
00:15:32Well, I certainly can't see anything wrong with your stomach, Sir Bernard.
00:15:35Yes.
00:15:36Well, I didn't really expect you to, you know.
00:15:38It was just one of Matron's foolish fancies and we have to humor her, you know.
00:15:42Yes.
00:15:42She always had a very soft spot for you, Sir Bernard.
00:15:45That's only to be expected.
00:15:46She admires a man of character.
00:15:49Well, I won't waste any more of your time, person.
00:15:51I must say your pelvic cavity is very interesting, though.
00:15:54Oh?
00:15:54In what way?
00:15:55Well, it's rather large for a man.
00:15:57More like a woman, do you see?
00:15:59Hmm.
00:16:01Yes, it is.
00:16:02Never used to be like that.
00:16:04Well, what does it mean?
00:16:05Well, it's nothing to worry about, Sir Bernard.
00:16:07On the contrary, as you well know, it can be a great asset when it comes to childbearing.
00:16:12Oh, yes.
00:16:14Well, if you'll excuse me, person.
00:16:15I have a lot to do.
00:16:17A woman's work is never done.
00:16:18I mean, a man's work is never fun.
00:16:24It can't be.
00:16:25Oh.
00:16:26It's impossible.
00:16:30Sit down with you.
00:16:32Name, please?
00:16:33Smethurst.
00:16:35Oh, yes.
00:16:35I have some good news for you, Mrs. Smethurst.
00:16:37Miss Smethurst?
00:16:39Oh.
00:16:40In that case, I have some bad news for you, Miss Smethurst.
00:16:43Oh.
00:16:44Oh.
00:16:46Oh.
00:16:46Oh.
00:16:46Oh.
00:16:47Oh.
00:16:52Oh, yes, sir.
00:16:52Good morning, Doctor.
00:16:53Good morning, good to close off.
00:16:54I'll be with you in a minute.
00:16:55Oh, dear.
00:16:55I don't think that'll be necessary, thank you, Doctor.
00:16:58Oh, I'm awfully sorry.
00:16:59I wasn't expecting you, Matron.
00:17:00Obviously.
00:17:01I'd like to talk to you about Mrs. Tidy in Bunward.
00:17:04Oh, I know. The one with the bottomless stomach.
00:17:06I think we ought to induce labor this evening.
00:17:09Oh, yeah? What does the old rabbi say?
00:17:11If by the old rabbi you mean Sir Bernard Cutting,
00:17:14he's quite prepared to leave the final decision to you.
00:17:17Strange as that may seem.
00:17:19Oh, well, if you say this evening that's all right with me, Matron.
00:17:21Thank you, Doctor.
00:17:24Oh, incidentally, I'm expecting some more student nurses today.
00:17:29Oh, really?
00:17:29I would like to point out that they are in this hospital to further their education.
00:17:34Don't you worry, Matron. I shall do everything I possibly can with them.
00:17:38That's just what I wish to avoid.
00:17:50Now, remember, I just wanted to find out where they keep the stuff
00:17:52and get me a plan of the hospital.
00:17:54Yes, but what happens if somebody stops me and asks me what I'm doing?
00:17:57Well, that's the beauty of this nurse's gear.
00:17:59Nobody's even going to give you a second look.
00:18:01It's the first look I'm worried about.
00:18:02You've no need to be so honest.
00:18:04You look lovely.
00:18:05Will you stop telling him he looks lovely?
00:18:07Well, he does.
00:18:09All right, all right.
00:18:09We'll drop the whole thing and put him in for Miss World.
00:18:11Yes, a load of nurses arriving now, look.
00:18:16Top of us five.
00:18:17They must be going on duty.
00:18:18Go on, how's your chance?
00:18:19Hey?
00:18:19Just tag along behind him.
00:18:22Well, go on.
00:18:22Get a move on.
00:18:23I can't move fast, Dad.
00:18:24These damn knickers are too tight.
00:18:26It's much safer that way.
00:18:27Ask any girl.
00:18:28Do you mind.
00:18:29Come on, hurry up.
00:18:34That's it, son.
00:18:35Now, remember, we're depending on you.
00:18:36Good luck.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:37I'm going to need it.
00:18:40That's my girl.
00:18:55Report to the desk, girls.
00:19:03Excuse me, miss.

01:05:57I can't let you do it, Sir Bernard! Think of the scandal!
01:05:59Get out of my way!
01:06:02Well done!
01:06:03Now, time!
01:06:04Will you admit it?
01:06:05I've never even touched her, I swear it!
01:06:07Liar and lecher! Admit it! Admit it!
01:06:10I'm telling you the truth, I swear it newt's honour.
01:06:14You're a newt?
01:06:15Yes.
01:06:16I've been master of the Grand Order of Newt for five years.
01:06:19Really?
01:06:21Of course.
01:06:21And I was a tadpole for three years before that.
01:06:24But this is splendid.
01:06:27What pond do you belong to?
01:06:30Wapping an old stair.
01:06:32Really?
01:06:33Yes.
01:06:34I am a Grand Salamander Newt of the Watford Pond.
01:06:39You're not.
01:06:40Glub, glub, glub, glub.
01:06:42We swear to uphold the noble code of the Grand Order of Newt.
01:06:55Now, come on, Mrs Tidy, let's get to sleep.
01:06:58But I'm still hungry.
01:07:00It's not good to go to sleep on an empty stomach.
01:07:03Well, I'd hardly call yours empty, Mrs Tidy.
01:07:06She's had two of everything for supper, Matron, and two mugs of cocoa.
01:07:11Well, we can't let her go to sleep hungry, can we, sister?
01:07:15What about a nice big glass of castor oil?
01:07:18Good night.
01:07:50I'm going out to my room now, Arthur.
01:07:52Oh, right, Nathan. Should be a quiet night. Nothing on the books.
01:07:55Hope so. After last night.
01:08:04Who is it?
01:08:04It's me, Susan.
01:08:09Here you are.
01:08:10I think they're dry enough.
01:08:12Thanks a lot.
01:08:13And next time, be a bit more choosy about which nurse you have a bath with.
01:08:17They smell something awful.
01:08:18I didn't notice what she smelled like.
01:08:19No, you were too busy looking.
01:08:23Oh, go on. Go and get changed.
01:08:27Here, do you know something?
01:08:28I don't know what your name is.
01:08:30What is it really?
01:08:32Cyril!
01:08:33Oh, dear.
01:08:35Well, I suppose I'll get used to it.
01:08:37Does that mean you want to see me again, then?
01:08:39Well, that all depends on you, doesn't it?
01:08:41Well, you know I want to see you.
01:08:42Well, that's all very well,
01:08:44but I don't fancy being a gangster's mole.
01:08:47Look, I've told you.
01:08:48Honestly, I'm going to pack it all in.
01:08:50All right, nurse.
01:08:52It's a deal.
01:09:02How's the time?
01:09:04Two minutes to.
01:09:06Drive in slowly and park.
01:09:22Dad, wait a minute.
01:09:23Listen.
01:09:24Dad.
01:09:25Dad.
01:09:25Dad.
01:09:29Is that the one who tried to get matey with you?
01:09:32Yes, that's right.
01:09:33That's what I'm worried about.
01:09:34Get him out here.
01:09:35Me? How?
01:09:36You're a woman, aren't you?
01:09:37Flash him.
01:09:39Dad.
01:09:42You seem a bit down tonight, Doc?
01:09:44He'd be down too, mate,
01:09:45if you'd had 50 cc's of plethodin up the archipelago.
01:09:49There you talking about that.
01:09:50Here comes our little heroine.
01:09:51Oh, no.
01:09:53Oh, Dr. Prod.
01:09:54I wanted to apologize for what I did last night.
01:09:57Oh, it's all right, love.
01:09:58It only hurts when I sit down.
01:09:59Yes, but you've been so sweet about it
01:10:00that I feel that I owe you something in return.
01:10:03Oh, if you put it like that.
01:10:05What had you in mind?
01:10:07I was wondering whether you'd like to see
01:10:10me back to the nurse's home.
01:10:12Yes, I think I could just about manage it.
01:10:14Standing up.
01:10:22Want to know what it is about a maternity hospital
01:10:24that they all seem to be at it?
01:10:33Just a minute.
01:10:33What's the matter?
01:10:34I've got something for you.
01:10:36What is it?
01:10:36A little surprise.
01:10:37Close your eyes.
01:10:38Let me have it.
01:10:50All right.
01:10:51That's it.
01:10:52Get Ernie.
01:10:59All right, Ernie.
01:11:00This is it.
01:11:00How you get...
01:11:00Well, come on, jump.
01:11:02I can't jump in my condition.
01:11:05Bag.
01:11:05And you.
01:11:06Get the bag.
01:11:07Shh!
01:11:08Nurse!
01:11:08Get the bag!
01:11:10I'm pregnant and I've got to carry my own bag.
01:11:12Come on, hold of that.
01:11:13Hey, watch it.
01:11:14Just watch it.
01:11:15Slowly, careful, careful.
01:11:17Won't be long now, Mrs. Fogart.
01:11:19No?
01:11:20Here's your shoulder vein.
01:11:21Straight over to the list, Dad.
01:11:22Er, Doctor.
01:11:26Hey, what is all this?
01:11:28Er, er, it is all right.
01:11:30I am Doctor, er...
01:11:31Zhivago.
01:11:32I have here an emergency.
01:11:34Oh.
01:11:34Are they expecting you, Doctor?
01:11:37Expecting?
01:11:38What do you think this is?
01:11:39Wind?
01:11:40Don't you worry.
01:11:41The nurse knows all about it.
01:11:42Oh, well, you're in good hands with her, Doc.
01:11:44Ja, ja, ja, well.
01:11:45It's a proper little Florence de Nightingale.
01:11:58Doctor Zhivago.
01:12:01What do I tell you?
01:12:01Work like a charm.
01:12:02Oh.
01:12:03What's the matter?
01:12:04It just shows you the power of suggestion.
01:12:06What are you talking about?
01:12:07Well, I could have sworn I felt it kicking just then.
01:12:09You'll feel something kicking all right if you don't belt up.
01:12:11Come on, Freddy.
01:12:11Still here.
01:12:19We'll never pick that lock.
01:12:20Can't we blow it?
01:12:21That's right.
01:12:22Wake up the whole hospital.
01:12:23No.
01:12:23Only if we have to.
01:12:25Do you know where to keep the keys?
01:12:26Jim Mateson's got a set.
01:12:27Where will I find her?
01:12:27Up in her room.
01:12:28I expect on the fifth floor.
01:12:29You stay here with him.
01:12:30Wait a minute.
01:12:31Supposing it happens while you're gone.
01:12:33Supposing what happens?
01:12:34Well, I mean, I...
01:12:35I'm sorry.
01:12:36I keep thinking I'm really going to have one.
01:12:38I'll give you one in a minute.
01:12:40Here.
01:12:42You twerp.
01:12:48Oh.
01:12:50Excuse me, madame.
01:12:51Excuse me.
01:12:51That's quite all right.
01:12:52But what are you doing here?
01:12:54What do you want?
01:12:54I think we are lost.
01:12:56We look for the, um, how you say, removal room.
01:12:59No?
01:12:59Oh, you mean the delivery room.
01:13:02Jawohl.

01:20:24At last. I told you to use dynamite, didn't I?
01:20:27Did you hear that, Mates? I've got a boy.
01:20:31You've done it. Well done, Mates. Congratulations.
01:20:33There they are. There they are.
01:20:58Do you mind?
01:20:59No, I'm here.
01:21:15Oh, there's millions of them. I've got it.
01:21:24All right, all right, the game's up.
01:21:27Hand over whatever it is you've got there.
01:21:29Quiet, please. I am trying to phone.
01:21:31Oh, Arthur, stop all that nonsense and call the police.
01:21:33Well, I'm trying to.
01:21:35I wouldn't, mate.
01:21:36Why not?
01:21:37Well, if it ever got out that the nurse who delivered those babies was a fella...
01:21:42What?
01:21:44I don't believe it.
01:21:46You want more proof?
01:21:49Get off, Dad!
01:21:50He's right, Sir Bernard. We'd never live it down.
01:21:52Very well. Arthur, put the phone down.
01:21:54What is your proposition?
01:21:56Simple.
01:21:57We give you the stuff back, you let us go.
01:21:59Oh, baby.
01:22:00Oh, shut up!
01:22:03Give it to me.
01:22:05Give it to her!
01:22:06All right, hold the case, then.
01:22:08There.
01:22:09You'll have to let them go, Sir Bernard.
01:22:11Very well.
01:22:12Arthur, open the doors.
01:22:32This time we left.
01:22:34What on earth?
01:22:36Shroud!
01:22:37What on earth do you think you're doing, you idiot?
01:22:50Well done, there.
01:22:52Well done.
01:22:53Thanks, sir.
01:22:55Arthur, next day.
01:22:56It better be.
01:22:57You're not, are you?
01:22:58Oh.
01:22:59Oh!
01:22:59Oh!
01:23:00Oh!
01:23:03Did they look lovely?
01:23:05Yeah.
01:23:06I'm glad something good's come out of it, anyway.
01:23:08Oh!
01:23:09How good, my dear.
01:23:11Especially for you.
01:23:12Oh!
01:23:13You'll be able to prove yourself at last.
01:23:15Oh, I'm not worried about that anymore, I can assure you, my dear.
01:23:19You want to do another job, Sir?
01:23:20Of course.
01:23:21Got a beauty lined up.
01:23:22Really? What is it?
01:23:23Well, I was reading the other day about this millionaire's nudist camp.
01:23:26Now, if I could just get somebody in there to look it over.
01:23:33Hey!
01:23:33Come back!
01:23:34Come back, you fools!
