00:02:26You shouldn't smoke so much you really shouldn't after all those dreadful warnings
00:02:32Mrs. Carpenter's husband gave it up and he got run down by a bus a week later. That's got nothing to do with him

00:04:29Got my wire what's good about it? Yes, I got your wire
00:04:32Would I've got up in the middle of the night to be here? Otherwise, you're lucky
00:04:35I've been up all night in that blasted train. I couldn't get a sleeper. No breakfast either. What's all the excitement about poor Macfarlane?
00:04:41You can't raise the money
00:04:43He's dropping out. The warden's take of a bit will fall through not on your Nellie. It won't make
00:04:49It
00:04:52My boy you and I are gonna make a bid to take over Waldron's properties
00:04:58Sydney you're so quick. The shares were down to 15 Bob last night
00:05:03We are gonna offer Waldron a pound cash a pound cash
00:05:09Jim Ryder, have you gone raving mad? Where's that dumb blonde put that Waldron Bob?
00:05:14I've found her as soon as I got that wire. I knew it meant trouble. Anyway, where the hell are we going to find the money?
00:05:20Borrow it, but borrow it but 40% now. I know you've gone mad. Of course I have
00:05:29You buy me breakfast I'll explain why come on we'll go to that cheap dump around the corner won't cost you so much
00:05:35Pound cash
00:05:40Now I'd give him a quid out me own pocket if only they'd stop walking over my clean floor
00:05:53I thought I heard voices
00:05:55Come you finish this floor yet. I did but heard of rhinoceroses just went through
00:06:02rhinoceroses
00:06:04Dear
00:06:14Well, if he doesn't want it I know somebody what that
00:06:34Morning mrs. C. Morning candle bills bills bills
00:06:43They say rains on the way, I hope so I need heavy going for Epsom this week
00:06:48Oh, and you're all sis. What happened to that one yesterday? You know the one what couldn't lose
00:06:54Last in a field of 15. I'm better luck next time. How long can this sort of luck last mrs
00:07:00C doesn't matter what it is horses dogs the boat race
00:07:03I get a tip to buy Billings machine tools straight from the horse's mouth. I buy the shares they double their profits
00:07:13Lovely what did they do? They dropped half a crown. Oh, you never can tell with horses
00:07:20Horses, you don't listen to a word. I say do you? Oh, yes, I do
00:07:25I don't understand a word of it, but I do listen. Oh
00:07:28Oh
00:07:31I've got something for you. What is it? Oh
00:07:35a cigar
00:07:37Good condition, too
00:07:39Where did you pinch this? I didn't pinch it. I don't pinch things as well. You should know this is see you didn't bite
00:07:47There's no band and it's been pierced. That's why I took it. I found it in the waste paper basket
00:07:54Thanks very much very kind thought now you sit there and have a little smoke it'll do you good
00:07:59I'll go make you a nice cup of tea
00:08:01Oh
00:08:19Dear you did give me a turn. Sorry. Where did you get the cigar? Why what's the matter with it? Isn't it any good?
00:08:26Just shows you can never tell can you posh offices and oh, there's nothing the matter with the cigar
00:08:31Yeah, it's probably one of the best scars that's made. Where did you get it? Thanks for a work early mornings
00:08:36I saw it lying there and I says to myself. I said all that
00:08:41Yeah, I says so I took it. He didn't want it. Did you see who is he the man?
00:08:46I work for mr. Ryder, not James Ryder. That's him Jim Ryder. You know him well enough to call him Jim
00:08:52Oh me. Yeah, I've never spoken to him in my life
00:08:56Well, what's the special about him? Anyway, nothing really. He's just one of those wide boys
00:09:00Who's making a fortune just now to property development?
00:09:03Oh, he can't be the same bloke
00:09:06If you'd have heard in carry not about a quid one way or the other and you have to borrow that anyway
00:09:11What wouldn't I give to know what's going on in his mind? Not much
00:09:15I shouldn't think if you could have seen the way that was marching up and down on my clean floor
00:09:20I could have killed him stone dead the pair of them
00:09:23I thought the other black was gonna drop dead when he said he was gonna offer Waldron a quid. This is Craig
00:09:29Are you sure he said that?
00:09:32He said I am going to offer Waldron one pound cash
00:09:37Give me quite a turn it did
00:09:39Because Waldron was mr. Craig's second name
00:09:44You did
00:09:45Do another one for that nut house if you ask me? Yes. All right. I'll hold on
00:09:51Here's your cup of tea it's getting cold damn the tea. I'm sorry mrs. C
00:09:54But this is important. This is probably the hottest tip I've ever had dear. Oh, dear you and your old
00:09:59See this has nothing whatever to do with hope. Yes. I'm holding on
00:10:03You see a chap was going to buy a firm called Waldron's according to this. He changed his mind
00:10:09The shares will go down
00:10:10I shall buy some that I shall wait for Ryder to make his offer the shares will rise and I'll sell him at the profit
00:10:15It's as simple as that. It's just about as simple as that horse that couldn't lose yesterday
00:10:21And make you a fresh cap. Yes. Yes, I am holding on
00:10:25Your cousin the gallant colonel. Oh boy blimey more dad tips
00:10:32Hello sir, what can I do you for Roderick? Can you give me a quotation for Waldron this morning?
00:10:37I might have guessed he wants a quotation on Waldron's
00:10:40Listen one hour ago. The news broke that McFarland's bid had been withdrawn
00:10:46We haven't been off the phone since you can't even give him away you can't splendid
00:10:49I want you to buy me 5,000 pounds worth of Waldron's ordinaries
00:10:545,000
00:10:55Are you completely out of your tiny mind? Where the hell did you find 5,000 quid? I don't have to find it
00:11:00I'm buying it for the account
00:11:03My dear idiot, you realize they got to be paid for eventually and on the present showing they wouldn't be worth the paper
00:11:08They're printed on I'll give you security
00:11:10I
00:11:16Wasn't thinking of cufflinks or a watch I was thinking of this house
00:11:21Do I get this right?
00:11:23You'll put that house up against my buying 5,000 pounds worth of Walden shares
00:11:28Yes
00:11:29Get your solicitor to send the deeds round right away
00:11:40Well, mrs. Craig, I've done it. I've come for Walden's up to the hilt. Well, I hope it wins
00:11:45There's your tea if it does we'll split the profits 50-50. Well, that's very kind of you Colonel
00:11:50But if you don't no, no, no, I insist one doesn't get a tip like that every day fairs fair
00:11:5650-50 I was about to say Colonel as our I haven't had no wages for the past fortnight
00:12:02So that'll be two pound ten if you don't mind. Well, I am a little bit short of the ready this week
00:12:07I wonder if you could possibly wait till next Monday looks as though I shall have to didn't it? Thank you
00:12:14If we get control of Waldron's we can take over this site just like that
00:12:18Think of it all of the one conveyance one owner due for demolition in the next eight years
00:12:24Nice and tidy. I if we get a wig long we can have the old thing completed in eight ten months
00:12:29I a year at the outside I
00:12:32I
00:12:35Still don't like it Jim. I mean we we've got enough on our plate as it is
00:12:38Do you realize if I listen to your gloomy warnings?
00:12:41We'd still be in Stepney with 18 quid in the bank and you made sure I could only get that out three quid a day
00:12:46Didn't you 18 quid is a lot more than we've got in the bank at the moment Jim Ryder
00:12:52Hello
00:12:53Yes, sir. Will you hold on a moment, sir? I'll just see if he's in
00:12:57Out I got the tip this morning. Excuse me, sir. You're wanted on the telephone
00:13:07Hello Ryder
00:13:09What
00:13:13What
00:13:15No, I certainly did not
00:13:20Okay, thanks
00:13:22I
00:13:26Need two people knew that we'd made a takeover bid for Waldron's you and I
00:13:31Have you been talking?
00:13:32No, why because this morning somebody bought 5,000 quids with what they sent the price up by one and six months already
00:13:40Come on, we better get back. I'll get in contact with Waldron's full of price rises any higher
00:13:44Oh
00:13:52Hello Roderick, what's been happening? I've been trying to get you all the morning. Well, I didn't think they could sink any lower
00:13:58But they managed it
00:13:59Lower. Oh, no
00:14:00And I was just coming round to measure the house for carpets and curtains when the rumor of the Ryder takeover began to circulate
00:14:05I started to rise and the rumor was confirmed and they rocketed rocketed. Well, what are they standing at now 19 and 6?
00:14:13This means you've already doubled your investment. Yes, you've made a nice call
00:14:18Sell them sell the lot. You're a lucky devil. You must have had a tip straight from the horse's mouth from my charlady
00:14:24charlady
00:14:31The money can good morning, mr. C
00:14:33You
00:14:41Don't look too good
00:14:43You stay there and I'll get you a nice pick-me-up and what brought this little lot on if it's not a rude question
00:14:51Mrs. C. You remember when we bought those shares I told you we split the profit 50-50
00:14:56Yes, so you did I'd forgotten all about it. Don't you worry about that here take this
00:15:02It'll make you feel better. I can't put the kettle on your tea. We're ready
00:15:06You know, of course when I bought the shares, I see I didn't realize what might happen. Oh
00:15:12You haven't lost a lot of money over that bit of paper I'll give you have you no no, I didn't lose money
00:15:18Mrs. Craig I made it you made it. Oh
00:15:23I am glad isn't that nice you could do with a few quid
00:15:28Yes, it's more than a few quid mrs. Craig, it's quite a lot more more
00:15:34Yes, yes
00:15:3950 pounds more
00:15:43Not a hundred pounds more
00:15:50More not as much as 200 pounds
00:15:58Yes, mrs. Craig as much as 200 pounds
00:16:04That's wonderful, isn't it? And remember you're in 50-50. Oh, no. Oh nonsense. Mrs. Craig
00:16:11I insist the bargains a bargain
00:16:15I can't make the tea
00:16:21No, Colonel that money it isn't right
00:16:25That money it isn't right. Well, I I may have slightly underestimated it you see I'm not very good at figures
00:16:32No, Colonel. It was your idea. Yes, but mrs. Craig
00:16:36I know I will take 50 pounds and not a penny more. Is that as much as you expected as much as I
00:16:45Didn't expect a brass farthing. I can't make the tea
00:16:55It was real kind of you giving me that 50 pounds Colonel I
00:17:00Know you did promise me half, but a lot of people would have kept their mouths shut
00:17:06And I would have been none the wiser would I nonsense mrs. Craig you had my word as an officer
00:17:12And I trust a gentleman. Oh, you could have told me you only made a fiver
00:17:18I'd have been quite happy
00:17:20That's half your trouble Colonel. You're too honest
00:17:25I
00:17:33Know we was a bit posh for the street out in and the kids don't half enjoy that no mistake
00:17:43I didn't I didn't make 200 pounds
00:17:48But you distinctly told me never mind what I told you mrs. Craig. I didn't make 200 pounds
00:17:55I made five
00:18:08Did you say
00:18:115,000 pounds I did mrs. Craig
00:18:15Yes, I think perhaps it'll be safer if I were to give you your share right away
00:18:21Now just a minute Colonel, let me get this straight
00:18:26Are you telling me that you made five thousand pounds out of that bit of paper I give to you
00:18:33Yes, and a little bit of specialized knowledge
00:18:36Then somebody must have lost five thousand pounds. No, nobody lost five thousand pounds mrs
00:18:41Craig we bought shares at a certain price and sold them at a better price. That's high finance. It smells
00:18:47That's high finance it smells I to me. Oh, that's what the stock exchange is for mrs
00:18:53Craig so that ordinary people, you know people like you and I can express our trust in this or that
00:19:00Industrial concern and keep the great wheels of commerce turning. I
00:19:05Didn't see no wheels of commerce
00:19:07No, all I saw was a bit of paper
00:19:10And I didn't have no confidence in that because I didn't know what was written on it
00:19:14And you didn't have no confidence neither because you never knew it existed not until I give you that cigar wrapped up in it
00:19:21It isn't right. It can't be a few pounds is one thing
00:19:26But five thousand pounds is a different kettle of fish nonsense mrs
00:19:29Craig people are doing it all the time not people like me isn't there must be something wrong somewhere. This is Craig
00:19:36There's nothing wrong. You don't think I do anything dishonest. Do you?
00:19:40Yes
00:19:42Well, I didn't in the end did I
00:19:44It's legal mrs. Craig. What's legal can't be dishonest in that case
00:19:49There won't be any arm in my telling him about it. Well, they're telling who mr. Ryder
00:19:54It was his bit of paper and he can have this at all
00:19:57After all it must be is it was him what had the confidence, but you're not gonna take my check to mr. Ryder. I
00:20:05Am my mind is made up there is no time like the present
00:20:13I
00:20:21Come in
00:20:25Good morning, can I help you?
00:20:27Good morning, miss. I'm the lady what does here of a morning? Oh, yes. Well, I was wondering if I might see the gentleman Oh
00:20:37mr. Ryder
00:20:39Of course if I had their way they'd bang us all into crowded grottoes like what the Germans did
00:20:44I told you it was big business and if a superb lot of luxury offices ain't big business. I'd like to know what is
00:20:52Ryder
00:20:53Enterprise limited sounds like a cartel to me. What's a car?
00:21:01Well, anyway, they're the worst you mark my words
00:21:04They'll they'll they'll ground us all to pieces just just like the rest of them
00:21:10pieces
00:21:12The capitalists and and what will they say when our bellies are flapping for lack of bread or will they say?
00:21:20Let me cake. Oh, I like cake
00:21:24What can I do for you?
00:21:26Wow
00:21:31Yes
00:21:34Put him through
00:21:39Right up
00:21:41Hello George
00:21:45Fine old boy fine. I've got a little job for you. I want you to give me a price
00:21:51I'm pulling down some houses in Pitt Street. No Pitt Street, you know, it's a property. We've just taken over
00:21:58Of course I'm in a hurry
00:22:00Sitting tenants. Well after always over
00:22:03Don't you worry about it? I'll have them out of there before you can say bulldozer
00:22:07Good. Well, I'll pick you up in a few minutes and we'll go straight down to the site
00:22:21Now mrs. Craig well, sir, there were two things really do
00:22:27Look sir, this won't take up very much of your valuable time
00:22:32So you're the man who's going to pull down Pitt Street. That's right
00:22:38You live there. Yes, I do and all my friends live there and all I get it
00:22:43And I've asked you to use your position here to persuade me not to pull it down
00:22:47Nobody has asked me to do nothing. I've come here off me own bat. Now. Look mrs. Craig
00:22:53The world is changing and it's no good you and your friends resisting that change
00:22:57You've got to accept it assist it and if possible
00:23:02Anticipate it. Let me tell you what the ministry says about Pitt Street
00:23:09These buildings are scheduled for demolition in the next 10 years as they no longer measure up favorably to the required standards of housing
00:23:17Those houses are no better nor no worse than the day that was built
00:23:20They haven't changed and human beings haven't changed neither
00:23:23They've still got two legs and two hands and they and they've only got one head. Nothing's changed
00:23:29Some of them families have lived in their houses all their lives. They've grown up together
00:23:33Why there's one old lady there of over 80. She's lived there 60 years
00:23:39It's about time she had a change then in it
00:23:41It's always the same in progress as soon as anybody wants to build anything somebody squawks
00:23:49Now look mrs. Craig if you and your friends had any sense, they'll take the alternative accommodation I'm offering and get moving
00:23:54Alternative accommodation and what had you in mind for me?
00:23:59well
00:24:01Let's see
00:24:03Ah, here's a nice little house in uh, Burkeborough
00:24:06Burkeborough? I wouldn't live there if you paid me. That's one of them new towns, isn't it?
00:24:12I don't understand you people. The minister goes to all this trouble and expense at building these new towns. Are you
00:24:18Take Burkeborough. You take it
00:24:20He's got the lot
00:24:22Pubs. I've got a pub. I've got a pub. I've got a pub
00:24:25I've got a pub. I've got a pub
00:24:27I've got a pub. I've got a pub
00:24:29I've got a pub. I've got a pub
00:24:31Pubs. I've got a pub
00:24:33Darnsoles
00:24:35Darnsoles
00:24:37Golf course
00:24:39Do you know I haven't had a round to go for I don't know how long
00:24:44All right then
00:24:46What has Pitt Street got that Burkeborough hasn't?
00:24:48Me friends
00:24:52And I'm not getting out
00:24:54And you can't bundle us into the street because the law wouldn't let you. You're forgetting that
00:25:00Technically this is a condemned slum
00:25:02Slum indeed
00:25:04Yes slum
00:25:06And any judge would lend a sympathetic ear to any proposition I might make especially as I'm offering alternative accommodation
00:25:12He might and then again he might not
00:25:14Granted and if he didn't I could appeal
00:25:16Can't you see you're playing a game you can't possibly win
00:25:20You mean because we haven't got no money
00:25:22Partly
00:25:24Their money isn't everything
00:25:26You mean it's something else
00:25:29It might do you a bit of good to want for something me lad
00:25:33To know what it's like to struggle
00:25:35Man it
00:25:37Let me tell you something
00:25:39Do you know Old Pinton Street
00:25:41Yes Old Pinton Street
00:25:43Just behind Pitt Street
00:25:45I was born there. Number 13
00:25:47Do you know how much my old mother got when she was a child
00:25:51A bloody sight less than what you get now
00:25:53Ninepence an hour
00:25:55That's what she got
00:25:58Forget it
00:26:02When the landlord kicked her out of the house there was no alternative accommodation
00:26:06She went into a workhouse
00:26:08I went into an home
00:26:10I learn
00:26:12Nobody gives you anything for nothing
00:26:14Don't they
00:26:16Of course they don't girl
00:26:20You think I'm hard don't you
00:26:22Maybe I am
00:26:24Good business and sentimentomics
00:26:27If you want anything you've got to go out and get it
00:26:31So long as it's legal
00:26:33So long as it's legal
00:26:39Thank you sir
00:26:43I'll remember that
00:26:45That letter
00:26:47Is it for me
00:26:49No sir
00:26:51It's for me
00:26:57So you didn't give him back his check Mrs. Craig
00:26:59No
00:27:01I want you to
00:27:03What do you call it
00:27:05Reinvest it
00:27:07Reinvest it
00:27:09Oh I don't think I'd care to do that
00:27:11You see it wouldn't be the same next time
00:27:13I only wish we could get a tip like this every day
00:27:15There is no reason why we shouldn't
00:27:17Do you know what he said to me
00:27:19He said to me
00:27:21If you want something
00:27:23Go out and get it
00:27:26Any way you can
00:27:28He said it
00:27:30I didn't
00:27:32So he's only got himself to blame
00:27:34For what happens next
00:27:36Next
00:27:38What's been done once
00:27:40Can be done again and again
00:27:42Steady on Mrs. Craig
00:27:44Do you know these people
00:27:46Well of course
00:27:48These are household names in the city
00:27:50Property tycoons
00:27:52Investment trusts
00:27:54But you don't work for them do you
00:27:56No
00:27:58But I know the ladies who do
00:28:08I'm not having nobody telling me where I'm going to live
00:28:10And the only way
00:28:12To stop them pushing us around
00:28:16Is to fight them
00:28:18What with where are we going to get the money
00:28:20Where everybody else gets it from
00:28:23We are going to make it
00:28:25Make it how
00:28:27Out of bits of waste paper that we find
00:28:29Lying about in the offices
00:28:31What we clean
00:28:33Oh I don't think that would be much good Mrs. Craig
00:28:35Mum had 200 copies of Revelli
00:28:37She wanted me to sell them
00:28:39When I took them to the fish shop
00:28:41They only gave me a shilling
00:28:43Do you mind
00:28:45We're not going to sell this waste paper
00:28:47We are going to make use of it
00:28:49For information
00:28:52There is lots of information to be had
00:28:54From waste paper baskets
00:28:56Blotters writing pads and such like
00:28:58But we do nothing dishonest
00:29:00Understand
00:29:02Nothing that isn't strictly legal
00:29:04What Mrs. Craig means
00:29:06What Mrs. Craig means
00:29:08Is we only make use of material
00:29:10Which is in the public domain
00:29:12Things that have been thrown away
00:29:14Or left lying around for anyone to see
00:29:16No opening of drawers
00:29:18Or prying into private letters
00:29:21If you know what I mean
00:29:23I don't know what you mean
00:29:25I don't know what the hell you're talking about
00:29:27We just pick up anything
00:29:29What looks interesting
00:29:31And hand it over to the colonel
00:29:33It'll be my job to examine and evaluate the content
00:29:35Oh dear
00:29:37And acting on the information
00:29:39Evaluated
00:29:41We buy stocks and shares
00:29:43And such like
00:29:45What with
00:29:47With money of course
00:29:50Money without money
00:29:52What could we raise
00:29:54We'd be lucky to put up 40 quid
00:29:56Between the lot of us
00:29:58We shall start with a modest capital
00:30:00Of 5,000 pounds
00:30:02Oh
00:30:04Did I hear you say 5,000
00:30:065,000 is what Mrs. Craig and I made this week
00:30:08From one piece of information
00:30:10From one waste paper basket
00:30:14Oh I'm sorry
00:30:16My hubby would never
00:30:18I couldn't be a party to anything like that
00:30:20But why not madam it's perfectly legal
00:30:22It couldn't be
00:30:24Not like bingo or the football pools
00:30:26But it's exactly like the football pools
00:30:28Except that we know the results beforehand
00:30:30Does that satisfy you Mrs.
00:30:32Meriweather
00:30:34I suppose so
00:30:36A stock exchange is a cankerous growth
00:30:38On the dying body of capitalism
00:30:40A slave market for the buying and selling of the workers
00:30:42After the revolution
00:30:44There won't be no stock exchange
00:30:47Well do leave off about the perishing revolution
00:30:49Are you coming in or stopping out
00:30:51Well
00:30:53Well
00:30:55I've seen the revolution don't seem to be happening yet a while
00:30:57All right
00:30:59Here but don't you forget
00:31:01It's against me principles to make money
00:31:03Out of the exploitation of the workers
00:31:05Very well then
00:31:07I'll set about forming the company
00:31:09And finding us some office premises
00:31:11And don't forget absolute secrecy is essential
00:31:13A careless word to a husband
00:31:16Or a fellow char
00:31:18I mean office cleaner
00:31:20Well need I go on
00:31:22Well if you're sure it's all right
00:31:24Well of course it's all right
00:31:26Good heavens there's nothing to prevent any of you ladies
00:31:28Being accepted into the salvation army
00:31:30Now there are only two things to remember
00:31:32You may be able to obtain useful information
00:31:34From other ladies in your profession
00:31:36Pick their brains by all means
00:31:38Don't confide in them
00:31:40And remember
00:31:42However well we do
00:31:45We have to go on being char ladies
00:31:47I mean of course I shall have
00:31:49Any questions
00:31:51Yes
00:31:53I'm sure it's a wonderful organisation
00:31:55I don't want to join
00:32:01You want to join us why not
00:32:03I want to join you
00:32:05I don't want to join the salvation army
00:32:07It's their axe
00:32:15Now I'll come up
00:32:17It's all right I'll do it
00:32:19Don't bother Mrs Hiddleston
00:32:21It's no bother
00:32:23Two's as easy as one
00:32:45Good morning Mrs Harris
00:32:47Good morning Miss
00:32:53It's all clear
00:33:09Thirty minutes
00:33:12Thirty two
00:33:18Thirty three
00:33:20That's it
00:33:22Oh no
00:33:24That looks foreign
00:33:26Perhaps it's fifty three
00:33:28Fifty three
00:33:32Oh come along ladies
00:33:34You're late
00:33:36How do you expect us to find
00:33:38The place when you've got that
00:33:40Bloody Zulu on the door
00:33:42Not very bright are we
00:33:44That's our name
00:33:46Ladies who do
00:33:48Oh yes
00:33:50Very comical
00:33:54This must be costing us a bomb
00:33:56Well it's one of the finest
00:33:58Addresses in the city
00:34:00Naturally it's not cheap
00:34:02How much
00:34:04Well including the rates
00:34:06The central heating
00:34:09Don't tell me
00:34:11It'll spoil me day
00:34:13Well ladies
00:34:15Welcome to the first board meeting
00:34:17Of ladies who do limited
00:34:19I see you've all brought your basic material
00:34:21With you
00:34:23Now remember
00:34:25Information is the source of all wealth
00:34:27And hidden in these shopping bags
00:34:29Is the information we need
00:34:31All we have to do is to sift and sort
00:34:33And sift again
00:34:35Naturally there'll be a lot of rubbish
00:34:38Well now
00:34:40Have any of you ladies
00:34:42Any questions
00:34:44Well shall we get on with the business
00:35:08Excuse me
00:35:10I'm his lady cleaner
00:35:12Am I his what
00:35:14Certainly not
00:35:16I'm his wife
00:35:24Oh
00:35:26Well you said to develop contact
00:35:28I meant with fellow
00:35:30I'm his wife
00:35:32I'm his wife
00:35:34I'm his wife
00:35:37I meant with fellow office cleaners
00:35:39Not the wives of our national leaders
00:35:45Well now ladies
00:35:47I have to report very satisfactory progress
00:35:49Our cash balance now stands at
00:35:5126,007 pounds
00:35:53Six shillings and fourpence halfpenny
00:35:55Here's some paper
00:36:07Got you
00:36:09What on earth are you doing Mrs. Craig
00:36:11Oh
00:36:13Morning miss, still cold
00:36:15I said
00:36:17What are you doing Mrs. Craig
00:36:19Mosquito
00:36:21Place is teeming with them
00:36:23It's the central heating
00:36:25It isn't on
00:36:27No that's just the point
00:36:29It's cold outside
00:36:31So they come inside
00:36:33Looking for the warmth
00:36:36When they can't find it
00:36:38They try to get out again
00:36:40Take the mirror for the window
00:36:42And get stuck on the glass
00:36:44Guess what I found in my toilet
00:36:46A mosquito
00:36:48That's right
00:36:50A dirt great mosquito
00:36:52See
00:36:54The place is teeming with them
00:37:06He's done it again
00:37:14Up another twelve
00:37:16They've gone mad
00:37:18It's uncanny how does he do it
00:37:20Doesn't know anything or anybody
00:37:22For somebody who doesn't
00:37:24He's doing very well
00:37:26This means he's nearly doubled his capital again
00:37:30Why didn't I buy
00:37:32Any of the wretched things
00:37:34That'll be all
00:38:04Well gentlemen
00:38:06We've all been hit by this thing
00:38:08I'm getting so jumpy
00:38:10I don't even trust myself
00:38:14What we want to know is
00:38:16Who is this Whitforth fellow
00:38:18Where does he get his information
00:38:20He seems to be able to anticipate
00:38:22Every move I make
00:38:24Gentlemen
00:38:26Has it occurred to you
00:38:28That he may be an agent
00:38:31What the hell for
00:38:33Some foreign power
00:38:35Who shall remain nameless
00:38:37Oh not them again
00:38:39Oh my God
00:38:41Mr. Ryder perhaps you have a better explanation
00:38:43Perhaps he's psychic
00:38:45Spiritualists say that the power of transferring thought
00:38:47I'm interested in the power of transferring shares
00:38:49Now let's get down to cases
00:38:51Take this Waldron business
00:38:53I hadn't discussed it with a soul
00:38:55Living or dead
00:38:57Not even my partner
00:39:00It was all in my mind
00:39:02Do you talk in your sleep
00:39:04I'm not married
00:39:10I expect you're wondering why I've called this special meeting
00:39:12Well two pieces of information
00:39:14Have recently come into our possession
00:39:16Neither of them of much importance alone
00:39:18But together
00:39:20Well let me explain
00:39:22On the one hand we know that the shares of an Irish concern
00:39:24Pig producers limited
00:39:26Have fallen
00:39:29Into a marketing difficulty
00:39:31You're scribbling pad Mrs. Higgins
00:39:33On the other hand
00:39:35You're blotting paper Mrs. Craig
00:39:37Cash and carry supermarkets
00:39:39One of the largest in the country
00:39:41Has bought land within five miles of pig producers
00:39:43They are planning to open
00:39:45A bacon curing factory
00:39:47This will send the shares of pig producers limited
00:39:49Rocketing
00:39:51That makes sense
00:39:53What's on your mind Colonel
00:39:55I suggest we go for the killing
00:39:58Put the lot on pig producers
00:40:00The lot
00:40:02Well it's taking a hell of a risk isn't it
00:40:04Well of course it's a risk
00:40:06But we might wait a lifetime
00:40:08To get two bits of information like this
00:40:10Putting money on pigs
00:40:12It's like putting money on horses
00:40:14Well I don't see why
00:40:16I mean after all the pigs are there
00:40:18They're going to build the factory
00:40:20The shares must double
00:40:22If it comes off
00:40:24We shall have £120,000 in the kitty
00:40:26Well ladies
00:40:28Shall we vote on it
00:40:30Those in favour
00:40:32Well I can't sit here all day
00:40:34I've got my ironing to do
00:40:36I always did fancy a bit of Irish bacon myself
00:40:38I might as well be hung
00:40:40For a pig as a lamb
00:40:42What are we voting for
00:40:44Pigs
00:40:48Carried unanimously
00:40:56Carried unanimously
00:41:12We can get him in a signing and undertaking
00:41:14And move straight away
00:41:16It's worth paying him 100 quid each
00:41:18I don't like it Jim I don't like it
00:41:20I mean legally they're in the right
00:41:22Oh go blimey here we go again
00:41:25I don't understand
00:41:27Unless we get moving right away
00:41:29We're going to have to borrow money
00:41:31At 50% to pay back a 40% loan
00:41:33Jim Jim
00:41:37I can't understand these people round here
00:41:41They'd be much better off in one of those new tarns
00:41:45Like the one we passed through
00:41:47On the Great North Road the other week
00:41:49Marvellous
00:41:51And another thing
00:41:54I lick spit all for the capitalist bosses
00:41:56And look at you
00:41:58Not an ounce of flesh on you probably weeks since you had a square meal
00:42:00What did you have for your dinner
00:42:02If you had any dinner
00:42:04I'm asking you what did you have for your dinner
00:42:06I'm trying to tell you
00:42:08As a matter of fact I didn't have any
00:42:10No of course you didn't
00:42:12And what about your bosses eh
00:42:14Look at them sitting there stuffing themselves with goose and caviar
00:42:16Yeah well you go and tell them
00:42:18That the bourgeois and proletarian blood
00:42:20Will mingle in the gutters of the Charing Cross Road
00:42:23Go on tell them
00:42:31Go on try one
00:42:33I think you'll find them very nice
00:42:35Oh
00:42:37Oh is it clear
00:42:39Oh we have to put the hole in
00:42:41Don't we
00:42:43Ah Mrs. Cubbins
00:42:45Oh yes
00:42:49You have arrived just in time to see your husband
00:42:52Your husband received a sum of 100 pounds
00:42:54Oh what ever for
00:42:56All you have to do
00:42:58Is to sign this undertaking
00:43:00To move within the next month
00:43:02Oh we couldn't do that I'm afraid
00:43:04Why don't you shut up
00:43:08And let the gentleman finish
00:43:10Your sign
00:43:12Uh huh
00:43:14A wise decision Mr. Cubbins
00:43:16What I'm sure you won't regret
00:43:18I'm sure I won't neither
00:43:26You see uh
00:43:28We was moving out next week anyway
00:43:30Ta ta
00:43:33Ta ta
00:43:45Good afternoon madam
00:43:47We don't want any today thank you
00:43:49Oh yes you do madam
00:43:51Believe me you do
00:43:53If you wake my husband before he's finished his lay down
00:43:55He'll kill you
00:43:57Not when he knows what I've come for
00:43:59What have you come for
00:44:02100 pounds
00:44:04100 pounds
00:44:06Mrs. Middlebrough
00:44:08Shh
00:44:10What ever for
00:44:12As you know
00:44:14These houses are being pulled down
00:44:16To make way for new blocks of offices
00:44:18Now my firm are very anxious
00:44:20To get started as soon as possible
00:44:22Now all you have to do
00:44:24Is to sign this form here
00:44:26Stating that you are prepared
00:44:28To leave the house within the month
00:44:31I'll give you 100 pounds
00:44:33My husband don't want to move
00:44:35He said so only the other day
00:44:37It's not a question of what he wants to do
00:44:39It's not a question of what he wants to do
00:44:41It's a question of what he's got to have to do
00:44:43Now we have the law on our side Mrs. Middlebrough
00:44:45And the council
00:44:47Dear
00:44:49Put the council man in hospital last year
00:44:51Now look
00:44:53Now look Mrs. Middlebrough
00:44:55I'm being as nice as I possibly can about this
00:44:57It's not a question of what he wants to do
00:45:00Otherwise
00:45:02Otherwise you're what
00:45:04You're lucky
00:45:06I'm in a good mood today
00:45:08So I'm going to explain something to you
00:45:10Yes of course
00:45:12We ain't going to move
00:45:14Not for nobody
00:45:16And if you come back here
00:45:18Annoying me and my little missus
00:45:20I'll splatter you all over that wall
00:45:22Do you understand
00:45:24You make yourself abundantly clear sir
00:45:30Come back here again
00:45:32And I'll break your neck
00:45:42What's this
00:45:44Tea silly
00:45:46What do you think it was
00:45:48I wouldn't say what I thought it was
00:45:50But it isn't tea
00:45:52Warm dish water more like
00:45:54Mine tasted all right
00:45:56Perhaps you like tepid water
00:45:58Some people prefer theirs boiled
00:46:00It was boiled
00:46:02You heard the kettle whistle
00:46:04Doesn't matter what I heard
00:46:06It's what I taste that counts
00:46:08This water wasn't boiled
00:46:10Go and boil your head
00:46:14God may forgive you for that
00:46:16But I won't
00:46:18Never
00:46:20Not if I live to be a hundred
00:46:22But she's lived here 60 years
00:46:24She's over 80
00:46:27It'd kill her to move
00:46:29She's very frail
00:46:31How frail
00:46:33One doesn't like to think of such things
00:46:35How long will the poor old
00:46:37Do you think
00:46:39It's difficult to say
00:46:41Her mother my gran
00:46:43Lived to be 104
00:46:45104
00:46:47That's 24 years
00:46:49Miss Parrish
00:46:51We're starting on the site right away
00:46:53It's for her own good
00:46:56The houses around here are going to be torn down
00:46:58There'll be bulldozers and dynamite
00:47:00And dust
00:47:02It'll be like the Blitz all over again
00:47:04She loved the Blitz
00:47:06She was never happier than when the bombs were falling
00:47:08She'd look out of her window
00:47:10And she'd shake her fist
00:47:12Miss Parrish
00:47:14If people aren't reasonable with us
00:47:16We can take it to the court
00:47:18And let the judge decide
00:47:20Oh dear
00:47:22I'm sure
00:47:25A nice modern flat is better than a dusty old relic like this
00:47:29Let me talk to her
00:47:31I'm quite sure
00:47:33I can make her see the wisdom of it
00:47:35We can but try
00:47:41Oh dear
00:47:43Get out of my house
00:47:45Get out and stay out
00:47:49Parrish
00:47:51Better mark that one
00:47:54How are you doing?
00:47:56How am I doing?
00:47:58Would you really like to know?
00:48:00I've just been dragged through the Kremlin backwards
00:48:02And bounced by a bruiser
00:48:04Well I've got one signature
00:48:06A bit of a struggle but I finally persuaded him
00:48:08One?
00:48:10What is the good of one?
00:48:12You've got to get the last one before you can start work here
00:48:14And do you know what she just said?
00:48:16She said the gutters will be flowing with blood
00:48:18Before they leave here
00:48:20I think she's right
00:48:22You old scrubbers
00:48:24You're forgetting there's a fortune in this deal
00:48:26And half it's yours
00:48:28Nearly half
00:48:30No Jimmy boy
00:48:32It's all yours
00:48:34Because I am going back to the office
00:48:36To dissolve the partnership
00:48:38Before you have to borrow money at 60%
00:48:40To repay the money you borrowed at 50%
00:48:42To pay back the 40% loan
00:48:44She said
00:48:46Old yellow legs
00:48:52Morning
00:49:06Good morning
00:49:18I expect you're wondering why I spent the night here
00:49:22I was waiting for you
00:49:32I was waiting for you
00:49:40What's in the flask?
00:49:42Tea
00:49:44Any spare drop?
00:49:46Help yourself
00:49:48I got broke like an axle
00:49:51I've been celebrating
00:49:55Rags to riches
00:49:57In 15 years
00:50:03Yes the truth and all
00:50:05I started out buying rags
00:50:07Did you know that?
00:50:09My partner reckons I'm going back again
00:50:11My ex-partner I should say
00:50:13He's walked out
00:50:15And taken his share of the capital with him
00:50:18Does that mean you'll be giving up Pitt Street?
00:50:22Not on your Nelly
00:50:24Well if you're that skint
00:50:26How can you go on with that great big office building?
00:50:34Come in
00:50:40Don't let high finance baffle you girl
00:50:42It's that simple
00:50:45The secret is in using other people's money
00:50:51The building contractor cuts himself in for a share of the profits
00:50:53So he works for nothing
00:50:55I sell the office blocks
00:50:57Floor by floor
00:50:59In advance
00:51:01So I've made a huge profit before I've even got the foundations in
00:51:05Oh that's clever isn't it
00:51:07When it comes off
00:51:09No thanks I'd rather smoke me own
00:51:11Go on treat yourself
00:51:14Do your good
00:51:16Ciao
00:51:20I'll be frank with you
00:51:22Unless I can get a work on Pitt Street
00:51:24I'll have to sell the whole site
00:51:26At a thumping great loss
00:51:28One minute up to my neck
00:51:32If I'm going to save anything out of this mess
00:51:34I'm going to have to get a work on Pitt Street
00:51:38Look Ma you can help me
00:51:40How?
00:51:42There's 500 quid in it for you
00:51:44500? For doing what?
00:51:46Nothing
00:51:48You told me yourself
00:51:50That nobody gives you anything
00:51:52For nothing
00:51:54Practically nothing
00:51:56All you've got to do is persuade the sitting tenants
00:51:58To sign on the dotted line by Monday morning
00:52:02A dozen
00:52:04That's my top
00:52:06Don't tell me you couldn't do with it
00:52:09I'll bet you ain't got two openings to scratch yourself with
00:52:15You don't understand do you
00:52:17We don't want to move
00:52:19Then you don't understand
00:52:21Somebody sometime is going to go ahead
00:52:23With a scheme down there
00:52:25Even if I don't
00:52:27So why fight it
00:52:29So cash in
00:52:31Do yourself a bit of good
00:52:33What good will it do me to sell me friends
00:52:35There's one thing that money can't buy
00:52:38No
00:52:40I reckon we'll just stick
00:52:42All right
00:52:44I'm going to have to do it the hard way
00:52:50Spicing fags out
00:52:52Spicing fags
00:52:54Another Jim with the wrong number
00:52:58You were saying what you was going to do
00:53:00Was I
00:53:02Don't worry about it Ma
00:53:04You'll find out soon enough
00:53:08Thanks for the thing
00:53:30Hello
00:53:32That James Ryder
00:53:34This is Mark Smith
00:53:37This is Mark Strang
00:53:39I've spoken to my associates
00:53:41We're prepared to come in with you on the Pitt Street project
00:53:43But we'd have to start right away
00:53:45We don't want our capital tied up indefinitely
00:53:47The contractors are starting on the empty houses
00:53:49First thing Monday morning
00:53:51Is that soon enough
00:53:53Yes
00:53:55I'll be frank with you Ryder
00:53:57A little dicky bird told us you had some trouble down there
00:53:59A few old bags being difficult
00:54:01I can handle them
00:54:03Don't you worry
00:54:06Because if there's any trouble at all
00:54:08You can count us out
00:54:10Oh there's the pips
00:54:12I'll be down first thing Monday morning
00:54:14Did I hear voices
00:54:16I was singing
00:54:20And then the supervisors come in
00:54:22And I have to switch it off
00:54:24Yes it's all very interesting
00:54:26But I don't see how it helps your situation
00:54:28You see even if you make things difficult for Mr. Strang
00:54:30And he drops out
00:54:32Somebody else will step in and buy it
00:54:34I said we'll buy it
00:54:36Whatever for
00:54:38What will we do with it
00:54:40Look if Ryder can get permission to build offices
00:54:42We can get permission to put up two blocks of flats
00:54:44With shops underneath
00:54:46They'll let like hotcakes
00:54:48But we haven't got the capital
00:54:50We will have
00:54:52When the pig producers deal comes through
00:54:54I'm afraid you don't know what you're saying
00:54:56I know exactly what I'm saying
00:54:58Look
00:55:00Supposing we did buy the area
00:55:03You'd leave us with not a penny in the bank right
00:55:05But how are we going to get the money to put up two blocks of flats
00:55:07I don't know how much you know
00:55:09About high finance
00:55:11It's not a question of high finance
00:55:13It's a question of simple arithmetic
00:55:15The secret is to use
00:55:17Other people's money
00:55:19We cut the contractors in
00:55:21For a share of the profits
00:55:23So they work for nothing
00:55:25Then we let off the flats
00:55:27Before even the foundations is laid
00:55:29All we've got to do now
00:55:32Is wait for the pigs to bring home the bacon
00:55:34Just a moment
00:55:36Hello
00:55:38Colonel Whitforth speaking
00:55:40Oh hello Roderick
00:55:42Roderick I hear you helped yourself to some of those
00:55:44Pig producer shares
00:55:46Wise fellow always follow the
00:55:48What news
00:55:50Are you sure
00:56:02Colonel
00:56:04What is it
00:56:06What's wrong
00:56:08Spine fever
00:56:10Not our pigs
00:56:12They have passed away
00:56:14All 15,000
00:56:16Where's our capital then
00:56:18Gone all gone
00:56:20Oh marvellous
00:56:22What did I tell you
00:56:24There he goes
00:56:26Holder
00:56:28Listen to me all of you
00:56:31The colonel here put it to the vote
00:56:33And we all voted
00:56:35So it's no good blaming him
00:56:37And it's no good blaming one another
00:56:39After all
00:56:41It's not as though we saw the money
00:56:43It was only writing
00:56:45On bits of paper
00:56:47Somehow it don't seem
00:56:49So important to me
00:56:51But what is important
00:56:53Is we can't stop Ryder pulling
00:56:55Pitt Street down on Monday
00:56:57Ah finance
00:57:00It's a funny business
00:57:04Ten minutes ago
00:57:06We had 15,000 pigs
00:57:08Now we haven't got
00:57:10Ham sandwich between us
00:57:30God
00:57:40Well that's that then
00:57:42Let's have a nice cup of tea
00:57:44I told you big business would beat you in the end
00:58:00You
00:58:02You
00:58:04You
00:58:30Wait
00:58:34Don't tell me
00:58:36They've started on my place already
00:58:38I'll tell them a thing or two
00:58:42Colonel what brings you round here
00:58:44Important news ladies
00:58:46Colonel whatever has happened
00:58:48Don't tell me
00:58:50Them pigs have come back to life again
00:58:52Better than that
00:58:54This has just come through on the ticker tape
00:58:56Large deposit
00:58:58Valuable minerals found
00:59:00In Ireland
00:59:02They discovered the deposit when they were burying the pigs
00:59:04Causing heavy speculation
00:59:06In pig producers
00:59:08Shares
00:59:10Yeah
00:59:12Does this mean we'll get our capital back
00:59:14Almost certainly
00:59:16That and a great deal more
00:59:18Pity it had to happen too late to save the street
00:59:20Maybe it isn't too late
00:59:22Do you remember
00:59:24What Mr Strang said
00:59:27He said
00:59:29If there is going to be any trouble
00:59:31I am getting out
00:59:33So we are
00:59:35Going to see that he gets
00:59:37Plenty of trouble
00:59:39Aren't we
00:59:45Colonel
00:59:47You go back and look after that contraption of yours
00:59:49And leave us to look after
00:59:51Mr Ryder
00:59:53And Mr Strang
00:59:56Ladies
01:00:00Shall we take your car
01:00:02Or mine
01:00:04It'll have to be yours I'm afraid
01:00:06My Rolls is away
01:00:08Having a second telephone installed
01:00:10Not to sell it have you
01:00:26This little bus has done me very well for 17 years
01:00:28So I don't see the sense in wasting
01:00:30My brass on Rolls Royces
01:00:34Mind my anvil
01:00:38Here look out here comes Big Ed
01:00:48Hello lads
01:00:50This is it
01:00:52I've got you again have I
01:00:55We're going to knock down
01:00:57Starting of course with the empty ones
01:00:59Don't want to make any mistakes about them
01:01:01Do we
01:01:036, 8, 14, 15, 18
01:01:05And 22
01:01:07That's the one in the air there
01:01:09Come on lads get the compressor going
01:01:11Get the gear out of the truck
01:01:13Let's be happy
01:01:17I just can't understand it
01:01:19From her heart beat
01:01:21I'd say she'd live another 20 years
01:01:24I can find absolutely nothing wrong with her
01:01:26There it is
01:01:28Sometimes these old people know best
01:01:30They know when the time has come
01:01:32To pass on
01:01:34How true
01:01:36How very true
01:01:38She must have absolute quiet
01:01:40Of course
01:01:42Bring her round something to make her sleep later on
01:01:44In the meantime
01:01:46Give her anything she fancies
01:01:48Anything she fancies
01:01:50Within reason
01:01:52Thin growth
01:01:54Weak gear
01:01:56I'm going
01:01:58I know I'm going
01:02:00Don't forget
01:02:02Absolute quiet
01:02:04Oh
01:02:06The noise
01:02:18Do you hear me
01:02:22Would you mind explaining
01:02:24What the hell you think you're trying to do
01:02:26Do you realise that
01:02:28And do you realise
01:02:30There's a dear old lady dying in that house
01:02:32Dying
01:02:34Yes dying
01:02:36You've heard of it I suppose
01:02:38Well if you start up your damn machinery
01:02:40Before she
01:02:42Anyway
01:02:44If you start it up
01:02:46I'll have the authorities on you
01:02:49Well I
01:02:51I was only trying to get the work done
01:02:53How would you like it
01:02:55If it was your poor old mother
01:02:57Lying up there breathing her last
01:02:59Poor
01:03:01Dear old lady
01:03:03Lying there
01:03:05Wandering in her mind
01:03:07Terrified
01:03:09Thinking the air raids have started
01:03:11All over again
01:03:13I don't know
01:03:15What to do
01:03:18I suggest one course of action
01:03:20What's that
01:03:22We'll have to have a meeting won't we
01:03:24Right brothers
01:03:26Right come on let's go
01:03:38Right brothers
01:03:40I see we have a quorum
01:03:42Now I needn't prevail upon you to show your cards
01:03:44I think we'll go straight ahead
01:03:47Would you close in a little bit brothers
01:03:49We have a spy on the outside of our little community here
01:03:51Now
01:03:55That's Ryder
01:03:57And look
01:03:59That must be Strang
01:04:05Must be their tea break
01:04:09Oi what's going on here
01:04:11Who's the foreman
01:04:13I am the foreman sir
01:04:16Why aren't your men working
01:04:18Why aren't your men working
01:04:20What the hell's going on here
01:04:22Be quiet
01:04:26I'll tell you what it's all about
01:04:28There's a poor old lady lying in there
01:04:30Sick and dying
01:04:32And these
01:04:34Gentlemen
01:04:36Have kindly agreed to stop work
01:04:40Kindly agreed to stop
01:04:42Yeah haven't we held a meeting
01:04:46And this resolution
01:04:48Was passed unanimously
01:04:50This meeting seriously deprecates
01:04:52The derogatory effect on the old lady's health
01:04:54And unanimously decides to adjourn work
01:04:56Until status quo reigns
01:04:58Are you talking about old mother Parrish
01:05:00You couldn't have a derogatory effect
01:05:02On her health
01:05:04If you ran over her with a bulldozer
01:05:06Don't listen to him
01:05:08Here's the poor old lady's daughter
01:05:10How old is your mother dear
01:05:12Eighty one
01:05:14Did you hear that
01:05:16Did you hear that eighty one
01:05:18Isn't she entitled
01:05:20To a little peace and quiet
01:05:22Lying there
01:05:24So frail and weak
01:05:26Frail and weak
01:05:28She wasn't frail and weak when I saw her
01:05:30She went into a rapid decline
01:05:32Rapid decline
01:05:34Ah
01:05:36If she's so sick
01:05:38She should be in an hospital
01:05:40I'll send for an ambulance
01:05:43She's too weak she can't be moved
01:05:45This is a frame up
01:05:47Can't you see what she's doing
01:05:49She's trying to stop you pulling down the houses
01:05:51Have you actually seen
01:05:53The old bird
01:05:55No no I haven't actually
01:05:57Not seen her
01:05:59Of course you haven't
01:06:01Why don't you ask
01:06:03If you can see her
01:06:05After all it's going to cost your firm
01:06:07A lot of money when I sue
01:06:09Isn't it
01:06:12It wouldn't do any harm would it
01:06:14I mean like just to have a look
01:06:16Alright then
01:06:18Just a look
01:06:20But remember she's unconscious
01:06:22But she's unconscious
01:06:24The noise can't be worrying her
01:06:26She's unconscious from time to time
01:06:28Would you step
01:06:30This way please
01:06:34Now mother you sure
01:06:36You know what to do
01:06:38Of course I know what to do
01:06:41The rest of the street put together
01:06:43I must ask you to keep very very quiet
01:06:45Please
01:06:47If you'll come this way
01:06:51Here they come
01:07:03Poor old soul
01:07:06How long do you think
01:07:08She might linger
01:07:10For days
01:07:14There he is
01:07:16That's him
01:07:20I'll throw him out once
01:07:22And I'll throw him out again
01:07:26Get out of my house all of you
01:07:28Get out
01:07:36I told you to stop out of my house
01:07:38And I meant it
01:07:40Go out and stay out
01:07:46I'm going
01:07:48She hasn't even got her hand in yet
01:07:52See what I mean
01:07:58What do we do now
01:08:00It's eleven o'clock
01:08:02She'll either get tired or run out of ammunition soon
01:08:06Bringing up the heavy artillery
01:08:08You won't get me out of my house
01:08:10In a million years
01:08:12Not in a million trillion years
01:08:22Take more than a bulldozer
01:08:24To put that old battle axe under the ground
01:08:26Right
01:08:28I'll talk to the men
01:08:30What happened
01:08:32She wrecked the old perishing thing
01:08:34Everything was going fine
01:08:36Until she caught Sata Rada
01:08:38Then she went start raving
01:08:40Blowing mad
01:08:42Well
01:08:44I'll phone the police
01:08:46The sight of a couple of bobbies
01:08:48Will knock some sense into them
01:08:50Oh believe me
01:08:52Once this thing gets rolling
01:08:54Nothing will stop it
01:08:56Absolutely nothing
01:08:58All right
01:09:00I'll give you till noon
01:09:03I reckon they made proper charlies out of us
01:09:05Well
01:09:07We pass this resolution
01:09:09This meeting
01:09:11Deplores the diabolical liberties taken
01:09:13And applies non-ratification to the resolution
01:09:15Taken by the previous meeting
01:09:17And declares that a status quo now rhymes
01:09:19What the hell does all that mean
01:09:21What does it mean
01:09:23It means we go back to work
01:09:25Wonderful
01:09:27After tea break
01:09:30What do they want a tea break for
01:09:32They haven't done anything yet
01:09:34They haven't done anything
01:09:36They've been on the clock since eight
01:09:38Look
01:09:40I'll pay them to work through the tea break
01:09:42They can't do that
01:09:44That would be creating a precedent
01:09:48Now what's the matter
01:09:50Oh the men are having a tea break
01:09:52This is where I came in
01:09:54No not quite
01:09:56The men are hopping mad

01:21:36I'm the car.
01:21:57Funny how your luck changes, isn't it?
01:22:00Yes, it is.
01:22:03I think there was going to be two blocks of offices there.
01:22:09Down there, a fountain and a gold statue.
01:22:15Painted, of course.
01:22:18And now...
01:22:19And now you're thinking of selling.
01:22:21That's right.

01:22:31Why don't we talk it over at lunch tomorrow?
01:22:34Suppose you call for me at my office.
01:22:37Twelve o'clock?
01:22:43Ah, this is a pleasure, Mr. Ryder.
01:22:45Won't you come in?
01:22:46I want you to meet my board.
01:22:53Mrs. Craig.
01:22:55You.
01:22:57Charles.
01:22:58All of you, Charles.
01:23:00Do you mind?
01:23:01So that's how you did it.
01:23:04Oh, now, think of that.
01:23:07You crafty...
01:23:09Now, now, Mr. Ryder.
01:23:12Flattery won't get you nowhere.
01:23:16Mr. Ryder, we've decided to invite you to join the board.
01:23:20I suggest we discuss the whole matter over a bite of lunch at the Savoy.
01:23:27Something terrible's happened.
01:23:29Oh, right.
01:23:31Let's have it.
01:23:33When I told Mother we were going to put her in a nice new flat,
01:23:38she said we wouldn't get her out of her house, not in a million years.
01:23:43Oh, blimey.
01:23:45She can't do that to us.
01:23:48We're offering her alternative accommodation.
01:23:52Oh, well.
01:23:54Let's go and have our luncheon,
01:23:56and then I'll go and butter up the old...
01:23:59Won't you?
01:24:01Shall we go?
01:24:18Well, shall we join the ladies?
01:24:26Yes.
