00:56Mr. Brown's class.
00:59Brown.
01:00Mr. Brown.
01:01Ah, sÃ.
01:03Juan Cervantes.
01:04Para servir la señora.
01:06Yes.
01:07But are you in Mr. Brown's class?
01:09English as a foreign language?
01:12Por favor.
01:13Are you really as stupid as you look?
01:17Oh, no, no.
01:18Ah, excuse me.
01:19You are in Mr. Brown's class, aren't you?
01:21Andy?
01:22Are you around you?
01:27Doesn't Mr. Brown teach you anything?
01:29Por favor.
01:31You.
01:32Yes, please, Missy.
01:34Can I be assisting you in anywhere whatsoever?
01:37Last a breakthrough.
01:39Are you in Mr. Brown's class?
01:42No.
01:43I am in corridor.
01:46Do you think you could give him a message?
01:48Most certainly.
01:49I am Miss Courtney.
01:51And I am Ranjit Singh.
01:53Just at this particular moment,
01:55I'm not really bothered who you are.
01:57I just want you to give Mr. Brown a message.
01:59I'll be very happy to comply with the request.
02:02Would you tell him I would like a word with him?
02:04Most certainly.
02:06Which word would you like?
02:09Just say I want to speak to him.
02:14Foreigners.
02:15Quiet, please.
02:18Settle down.
02:23Right.
02:24Good evening.
02:25Adabarus, sir.
02:26Adabarus.
02:27Yes, well, we appear to be some missing.
02:29I hope they haven't dropped out.
02:31Oh, please.
02:31It will not be surprising me.
02:33I am always thinking that the Sikh son of a guru
02:36was a Punjabi dropout.
02:39I am hearing what you are saying,
02:41you miserable sport of a kid.
02:42I don't like you.
02:44Don't you two start again.
02:45Actually, you're late.
02:46A thousand apologies
02:48for this unforgivable tardiness.
02:51But you are all
02:52unavoidably detained in the corridor
02:54by a lady.
02:55Si, si.
02:56Do I take it, Juan,
02:58that you understood what Ranjeet was saying?
03:00Por favor.
03:01Oh, sorry.
03:02Who was this lady
03:03who detained you in the corridor?
03:05Oh, blimey.
03:07I am forgetting her name.
03:09She was a big lady.
03:11Very large bosoms.
03:15And the author.
03:16Very good.
03:18Yes, and while you're trying to remember her name,
03:19perhaps you'd better sit down.
03:22Yes.
03:22Yeah, yeah.
03:24Now, I hope you've all done your homework.
03:26Si, probably, sorry.
03:27Excuse me, please.
03:29I am remembering the name.
03:32Missy Courtney.
03:33No, Miss Courtney.
03:34Yes, absolutely.
03:35The lady with the large, uh...
03:37Who's it?
03:38Miss Courtney?
03:39Yes, well, she'll just have to wait.
03:42Excuse me, please.
03:43She's already waiting.
03:46Look, she may be the principal,
03:47but I have a class to teach.
03:48Now, as I was saying about...
03:50Ah.
03:52Miss, uh, large, um...
03:55Miss Courtney.
03:55I was just on my way to see you, actually.
03:57That's not the impression I got.
03:59Yeah, well, I shall be a moment, class.
04:01Oh, it's all right.
04:01Don't bother.
04:02I merely wanted to tell you
04:03that you can expect another student.
04:05Oh, jolly good.
04:06More the merrier.
04:06You're not here to make merry, Mr. Brown.
04:09No, no, it was just a figure of speech.
04:11Well, you better try teaching
04:12a few figures of speech to your students.
04:14They seem to be in need of it.
04:15I'm doing my best.
04:16Ah.
04:18Oh, Miss Courtney.
04:20Yes?
04:20This, uh, new student,
04:21what nationality can I expect?
04:23African.
04:24Oh, African.
04:26Right, now, you remember I asked you all
04:28to write an essay,
04:29a short story about your life here in England.
04:32Hope you've all done so, have you?
04:33Yes.
04:34Good, good.
04:35Well, I shall go round the class
04:36and ask each of you
04:37to read out what you've written.
04:38Anna, shall we start with you?
04:41My Life in England
04:42by Anna Schmidt.
04:44Good.
04:44Very good.
04:47Yeah, but go on.
04:49There is no more.
04:50Oh, that's all there is.
04:51Yeah, I have no time to write more.
04:54Only that Mrs. Walker
04:55is keeping me busy.
04:56Anna do this, Anna do that.
04:58She is a slave driver,
05:00that Mrs. Walker.
05:01Walker.
05:01What?
05:02W is pronounced
05:04W.
05:04Your employer's name is Walker.
05:07Yeah, Walker.
05:08Do you know how many shirts
05:10Mrs. Walker made me iron last night?
05:12Walker.
05:13Yeah, Walker.
05:15Then I had to prepare a meal for the bitch.
05:22Anna, she may be a hard task, mistress,
05:24but I don't think you ought to call her that.
05:26Who?
05:26Mrs. Walker.
05:27Walker.
05:29I was meaning the dog bitch.
05:31Oh, yes, yes.
05:33That is why I'm having no time for the homework.
05:37Yes, well, not to worry.
05:38You really must concentrate on those W sounds.
05:41W.
05:41The.
05:42No, W.
05:43The homework.
05:43Danielle, would you like to read us your essay?
05:47Oui.
05:50What I like about England,
05:53by Mademoiselle Daniel Favre,
05:55telephone 246-
05:57I could carry on.
06:01Susie.
06:02Yes, Giovanni.
06:03Was that 8021 or 8013?
06:088021.
06:09Never mind what number it was.
06:10You're here to improve your English,
06:12not chat with other students.
06:13You are absolutely right, professori.
06:15It's just,
06:16I'd like to improve my French as well.
06:18Well, you can do that in your own time.
06:20Carry on, Danielle.
06:23I like England because the grass is so green
06:26and the purple are so nice.
06:28People?
06:29Yes.
06:32Especially the man.
06:35Quiet, quiet.
06:38Englishmen are so charming,
06:41so handsome
06:42and so sexy.
06:47Silence, please.
06:49Yeah, I think that'll do, Danielle.
06:51But I've written much more.
06:53All about the things I like to do at night.
06:58Yes, well, I don't think we'd better go into those.
07:00I'll be reading all your essays later.
07:03Jamila, I don't suppose you've written anything, have you?
07:05Say it.
07:06Say it.

08:42have you written anything?
08:43Yes, yes.
08:45Fine.
08:50What I like about Ingram
08:54Ingram is becoming more politically minded
08:57and gradually more
08:58The overthrow of decadent capitalistic government
09:03will always take place
09:05as working classes become more educated
09:07and embrace communism as the true way of right
09:13Workers' revolution getting nearer
09:15with inevitable corrupts of imperialistic
09:17bourgeois intellectual society
09:20Yes, well if that's what you like about England
09:22I wouldn't want to read what you didn't like
09:25Excuse, yes, tarot

10:58Oh
10:59Oh
11:00They told me they were sending an inspector round
11:02But I really didn't expect
11:03He would be black
11:04He would be so young
11:06My
11:06Apologize
11:07But the authority likes to check that the standards of the evening classes are up to par
11:11I can assure you that my standards here are well over par
11:14I'm glad to hear it
11:16Well, Mr. Kenyon, if you'd like to come with me, I'll show you round
11:19No, no, no, please
11:20I'd rather just wander around on my own if you don't mind
11:22I usually get a much clearer picture that way
11:29So

11:32We talk
11:32We talk
11:38Everything all right?

13:58Oh, lady who?
13:59Yeah, Miss Courtney
14:02She's been in here and she wants to see you
14:04Yeah, I know what she does want
14:05Yes, Mr. Brown
14:09You want to see me?
14:10In my office, immediately
14:14Careful, that's coffee, you'll spill it
14:15Por favor
14:16That's coffee
14:17Gracias
14:18Yeah
14:18De muy bueno
14:20De muy bueno
14:22Cheers
14:23Same again, please
14:24Oh, nothing, Mr. Brown
14:26Thank you
14:27Thank you, love
14:28Packet of biscuits, please
14:30Oh, I'm sorry, we haven't any left
14:32Santa Maria
14:34Ah, good, good
14:35You've come to have a cup of coffee?
14:38Coffee?
14:40Yes, coffee, this stuff
14:43Thank you
14:49Enter
14:52It has taken you two minutes thirty-eight seconds exactly to come to my office immediately
14:57I'm glad I didn't ask you to take your time
15:00Well, I'm sorry, I was detained
15:02Well, I thought I'd better tell you that an inspector has arrived
15:05Oh, my conscience is clear
15:07I beg your pardon?
15:08Well, apart from the odd parking ticket, I've never had any trouble with the police
15:12An education, inspector
15:14Ah, I see, I'm sorry, how stupid of me
15:16Yes
15:18Well, you'll probably want to call in on your class
15:20Oh, well, don't worry, I'll deal with him
15:22You don't deal with inspectors from the local authority, Mr. Brown
15:25You cosset them and flatter them and agree with everything they say
15:29Yeah, well, I'll do that as well
15:30I expect you'll want to see your register
15:33My register?
15:34You do have a register
15:36Oh, that register, yes, of course
15:38Well, you'd better call it as soon as you get back to your class
15:41Right
15:42By the way, while you're here
15:43the local authority want me to fill in a few details about you on this form
15:46I've got your name
15:48Yes
15:49Address
15:49Yes
15:50Sex
15:50Occasionally
15:56Married?
15:56Sorry
15:56Er, no, I was engaged once
15:59As a matter of fact, I proposed marriage, but it didn't really work out
16:02There was quite a lot of opposition
16:03Her father?
16:04No, her husband, I didn't realise she was married at the time
16:07What do you do during the day?
16:09Oh, nothing at the moment, I'm afraid
16:10I'm waiting for a suitable position
16:12And what was your last position?
16:14Well, I was teaching at a secondary modern school, but I left
16:16I couldn't stand any more beatings
16:18Well, I didn't think teachers beat children anymore
16:20Oh, they don't, it was the other way round
16:23I think you'd better take this form and fill it up yourself and bring it back to me later
16:26Right
16:26And do be careful what you say to the inspector
16:28Oh, of course
16:29Oh, by the way, the new student has arrived
16:31You won't forget to add the name to the register, will you?
16:39Daniel?
16:41Um, what you do after class?
16:45I go and learn the English
16:47Hey, I'm gonna learn the English as well
16:49Maybe we learn together, huh?
16:51Yes, but what about poor Max?
16:53Yeah, what about poor Max?
16:55I'm crying my eyes out
16:59I have an idea
17:00I have lots of ideas
17:02Why not you and Max study together, huh?
17:08Baby, baby
17:09Is that what you always do?
17:11Right, class, settle down please, quiet
17:13Now the first thing we have to do before we do anything else
17:16Is to call the register
17:17So sorry
17:18All right
17:18Ah, that's quite all right
17:19I expect you'll have a bit of difficulty finding your way round at first
17:22Things will seem rather strange
17:24Yes, very strange
17:25Yes
17:26Must be quite a change coming from one of the underdeveloped countries
17:29To our more advanced way of life
17:31Oh, yes
17:32Still, your people are doing remarkably well
17:34Did you fly here?
17:36Fly?
17:37How do you mean, buona?
17:41Oh, fly in a big iron bird
17:43Quite a change from riding an elephant
17:49Unless you came by jumbo
17:53Yes
17:54English joke
17:56Very funny
17:58Well, perhaps you'd better sit down
17:59Right?
18:00Right, I'm going to call out your names
18:02And will you please answer present?
18:04Present
18:06Yes, Sally, but wait until I've called your name out
18:09Sorry, please
18:10Ranjit Singh
18:12Present and correct, please
18:14Giovanni Coupello
18:15Si, professori
18:16No, Giovanni
18:17Not professori
18:18Not professori
18:20No, you should address me as sir
18:21Sir?
18:22Yes
18:24Now I understand
18:29You have been to get knotted
18:39Come again?
18:42Well, to become a sir
18:44You got knotted by the Queen
18:47The word is knighted and I'm not that kind of sir
18:51Maximilian Papandrios
18:54Maximilian Papandrios
18:55Mr. Brown is speaking to you
18:57Mr. Brown is speaking to you
18:58Is he?
19:01Sorry
19:01You want something?
19:04Yeah
19:04Are you here or not?
19:07Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
19:11Well, sure I'm here

19:22Presents
19:23Suli Chung. Pleasant. Ali Nadim. Gift. Gift. I'm surprising, you know. Each day, I'm learning a new English word. And
19:41I'm finding that gift is another word for peasant.
19:50Very ingenious. Thank you very much. Danielle Favre. Present. And I am all here. See that. Jamila Ranja. Hanji. Oh.
20:06Gordon Hefney. Yes, you're here. And Juan Cervantes. Present.
20:13Present. For favor. You're here. Present. I better take down your particulars, otherwise I may get into hot water. You
20:22are going to have a hard bath? No, Ali, it's just another way of saying I may get into trouble.
20:29Oh, dear. You have been committing some grievous misdemeanor. Not at all. There's an inspector from the local education authority
20:37coming round. Yeah, the big boss. Yes, I suppose you could say that, but from my experience, they're usually interfering
20:42old fogies.
20:45You don't like them? Not particularly. Frankly, they're quite useless and about as outdated as their teaching methods. I mean,
20:51what's the point of learning past participles, cognate objects, or subordinate clauses? It's far more useful. They're trying to teach
20:56a foreign student how to order a meal or find accommodation. You appear to have some rather unique ideas. Oh,
21:01I suppose I have. You know, you speak English fairly well. Thank you. Yeah. And what is your name? Roger
21:09Kenyon. Roger Kenyon. Ah, yes. Ah, Miss Courtley. I'm just
21:13completing the register and getting the details of our new student before that Inspector Chappie puts his motion. Oh, no.
21:20Mr. Brown. I shan't be a moment, Miss Courtley. What is your job? Inspector. Oh. What, local transport?
21:30Local education authority. Ooh.
21:36I thought he was the new student. The new student is a female. Is she? Well, you didn't tell me
21:41that.
21:41Oh, my apologies, Mr. Kenyon, and I do assure you that Mr. Brown will be severely dealt with.
21:46I can't remember when I last enjoyed myself so much.
21:49I beg your pardon? Enjoyed yourself?
21:51You know, Miss Courtley, your Mr. Brown is a remarkable man.
21:55I am? He is?
21:56Yes. His teaching methods may be somewhat revolutionary, but they appear to work.
22:01I have always encouraged my staff to be forward-thinking.
22:04Mm-hm. Well, I'll pass on your comments to the authority. Perhaps they'll revise their textbooks.
22:12Now, if you'll excuse me, I must put in an appearance at the other classes.
22:18Oh, well. Keep up the good work, Mr. Brown, and thank you very much for the coffee.
22:25I'll come with you, Mr. Kenyon.
22:30Blimey, you are dropping a clinker.
22:36You mean clangor.
22:37Yes, please.
22:38Yes, well.
22:39Right, let's continue with our lesson.
22:41Get out your textbooks. I'm going to give you all a few exercises.
22:44Excuse me, Professor. I can't do any exercises.
22:47Why not?
22:48I've got a bad back.
22:52Excuse me, I was looking for him.
22:54Ah, at last. A pity you didn't arrive half an hour earlier.
22:56Why?
22:57You might have saved me a great deal of embarrassment with a certain African gentleman.
23:00Oh.
23:01Yes, he was a school's inspector, but I mistook him for you.
23:03You thought the gentleman was me?
23:05Yeah.
23:06The silly fool tried to pretend he was a student and sit at the back to try to catch me
23:09out,
23:09but I saw through him.
23:11I'd rather you think he was a bit stupid.
23:13Oh, definitely. Thick as a brush.
23:14Was his name Mr. Kenyon?
23:16Yes.
23:17Do you know him?
23:17I sure do.
23:19I've come to collect him.
23:21I am his wife.
23:23Oh, blimey, yes!
23:24You have dropped another clinker.
