[BIG BAND PLAYS IN THE MOOD]
CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY MGM HOME ENTERTAINMENT
[NEWSREEL] IN THE DIM LIGHT--
PERHAPS THE DIM LIGHT BETWEEN PEACE AND WAR--
THE KING RETURNS TO LONDON.
A FEW HOURS LATER, HIS MAJESTY HOLDS A PRIVY COUNCIL,
WHILE THE TENSION GROWS WORLDWIDE.
MR. CHAMBERLAIN RETURNS FROM AN AUDIENCE WITH THE KING.
PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLES TO WRITE A NEW PAGE IN HISTORY.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A DOUBT
THAT EVERY BRITISH CITIZEN WOULD PLAY HIS PART.
LONDON PREPARES ITS DEFENSES
AGAINST ATTACK FROM THE AIR.
EVERY CITIZEN MUST KNOW
WHAT TO DO IN AN AIR RAID.
DO YOU KNOW THE WARNING SIGNALS?
WE REPEAT THEM SOFTLY,
TO AVOID ALARMING ANYONE OUTSIDE THIS THEATER.
[SIREN]
ALL CLEAR!
HAVE YOU GOT YOUR GAS MASK?
[NARRATOR]IT WAS ALL THEY TALKED ABOUT--
GETTING READY FOR WAR.
BUT NOTHING EVER HAPPENED.
IT WAS ALL WORDS AND NO ACTION.
[CHILDREN SCREAMING, TALKING ALL AT ONCE]
HOPALONG CASSIDY, ON THE OTHER HAND...
NOW THAT WAS THE REAL THING.
[GUNSHOT]
[LAWN MOWERS CUTTING]
SUNDAY, THE 3rd OF SEPTEMBER, 1939.
EVERYONE WHO IS OLD ENOUGH AND WAS THERE
REMEMBERS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING
AT THAT MOMENT.
I HAD JUST GUNNED DOWN A COUPLE OF RUSTLERS.
I SLIPPED BACK A FEW CENTURIES,
AND I WAS RIDING THROUGH AN ENCHANTED FOREST
THE MAGICIAN MERLIN SUDDENLY APPEARED BEFORE ME
AND MY HORSE REARED UP IN TERROR.
THEN...
SOMETHING EVEN MORE EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENED.
ALL THE SUNDAY MORNING LAWN MOWERS SUDDENLY STOPPED.
[RADIO] THIS IS LONDON...
YOU WILL NOW HEAR A STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER.
I AM SPEAKING TO YOU FROM THE CABINET ROOM
OF 10 DOWNING STREET.
THIS MORNING,
THE BRITISH AMBASSADOR IN BERLIN
HANDED THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT A FINAL NOTE STATING
THAT UNLESS WE HEARD FROM THEM BY 11:00
THAT THEY WERE PREPARED AT ONCE
TO WITHDRAW THEIR TROOPS FROM POLAND,
A STATE OF WAR WOULD EXIST BETWEEN US.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOW
THAT NO SUCH UNDERTAKING HAS BEEN RECEIVED,
AND THAT, CONSEQUENTLY,
THIS COUNTRY IS AT WAR WITH GERMANY.
?? FLAT-FOOT FLOOGIE WITH THE FLOY FLOY ??
?? FLAT-FOOT FLOOGIE WITH THE FLOY-- ????
STOP THAT, SUE!
SHE JUST SINGS IT.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS.
WHERE ARE MY STOCKINGS?
I CAN'T FIND MY STOCKINGS!
THEY'VE STARTED WAR AGAIN.
HAVE THEY?
IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
I STILL NEED MY STOCKINGS!
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR STOCKINGS!
[AIR RAID SIREN]
IT'S AN AIR RAID!
GOOD GOD!
THEY'VE STARTED ALREADY!
AIR RAID!
GET DOWN! STAY DOWN!
[ALL-CLEAR SIGNAL]
IT'S THE ALL-CLEAR.
OH!
TESTING.
THEY WERE JUST TESTING.
WE ALL EXPECTED TO BE BOMBED RIGHT AWAY,
BUT NOTHING HAPPENED FOR AGES.
AND EVERYONE SAID,
"FANCY STARTING A WAR ON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY."
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY, TOO.
A FEW LAWN MOWERS STARTED UP AGAIN,
BUT THEY DIDN'T RING TRUE, SOMEHOW.
NOTHING WOULD EVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
YOU GOING TO GIVE ME A HAND, MAC, OR NOT?
DAD!
IT'S FULL OF WATER AGAIN.
OH, BLAST!
AW!
COMES UP THROUGH THE CLAY.
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEALED IT OFF WITH HOT PITCH, SMILER.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
IT'S SELFISH TO KEEP THEM WITH YOU.
YOU REMEMBER THAT AUNT I TOLD YOU ABOUT
IN AUSTRALIA?
SHE HAS OFFERED TO HAVE THEM.
SNAP IT UP!
GREAT CHANCE FOR THEM.
I MEAN, A LOT MORE FUTURE OUT THERE.
SO FAR AWAY...
I COULDN'T BEAR IT.
BUILDING AIR RAID SHELTERS
IS HUNGRY WORK, GRACE.
WELL, A FEW BOMBS MIGHT WAKE UP THIS COUNTRY!
HA HA HA!
TAKE MORE THAN A FEW BOMBS
TO WAKE UP DAWN ON SUNDAY MORNING.
THIS PHONY WAR GETS ON MY NERVES.
IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A WAR,
I WISH THEY'D GET IT STARTED.
JUST IGNORE HER, MAC.
THIS WAITING ABOUT'S GETTING US ALL DOWN.
WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT 10 MINUTES FOR LUNCH.
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR DRILL, MAC?
HUT! 2! 3!
ALL PRESENT AND CORRECT, SIR!
YOU'VE KEPT THE OLD SAM BROWN ALL THESE YEARS!
AND KEPT IT POLISHED?
MIGHT COME IN USEFUL.
HA HA HA!
OOH! STEADY, STEADY.
HAVING RECEIVED HIS MAJESTY'S PERMISSION...
SHH! QUIET!
I HAVE FORMED AN ADMINISTRATION
OF MEN AND WOMEN OF EVERY PARTY
AND OF ALMOST EVERY VIEWPOINT.
DAD!
SHH! SHH!
...TO WAGE WAR UNTIL VICTORY IS WON,
AND NEVER TO SURRENDER OURSELVES
TO SERVITUDE AND SHAME...
COME ON, COME ON.
WHATEVER THE COST AND THE AGONY MAY BE.
HA HA HA!
BLOODY GIN ALWAYS MAKES ME...
CRY!
SHE ONLY WEEPS WHEN SHE'S HAPPY.
OH, STOP IT, MOLLY.
YOU'LL START ME OFF.
GRACE, GRACE.
IT'S DUTY, MAC.
IT'S HER DUTY.
WE DID OUR BIT IN THE LAST LOT.
WHEN KING AND COUNTRY CALL, MAC,
YOU'LL GO AS SOON AS I WILL.
WHAT DID WE KNOW?
A COUPLE OF KIDS, 17.
I HEARD THE DRUM AND FIFE YESTERDAY, MAC,
MARCHING PAST.
IT MADE MY HAIR STAND ON END.
THERE WE GO.
THERE WE GO, MOLLY.
WE'VE BEEN ASLEEP FOR 20 YEARS!
AW, GO TO HELL!
COME ON!
GOOD NIGHT, MOLLY.
GOOD NIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?
GO TO BED THIS MINUTE!
DON'T WORRY, SUE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE LIKE THEM
WHENWEGROW UP.
WE'RE NOT EVEN LIKE THEM NOW.
[STATIC]
WE'RE STANDING IN THE POURING RAIN
OUTSIDE OF A ROAD SQUELCHING WITH MUD
AND LINED WITH THE INEVITABLE DOUBLE ROW OF POPLARS.
A FEW LORRIES ONLY ARE SPLASHING BY
TO AND FROM THE FORWARD AREAS,
BUT COMING DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS US
IS A BATTALION THAT I KNOW TO BE OF A FAMOUS IRISH REGIMENT.
THEY'RE MARCHING IN THREES,
AND, IN THEIR FULL BATTLE DRESS AND KIT,
THEY BLEND WITH THE BLOOMING GREEN GRASS OF THE ROADSIDE...
FORWARD!
I RODE INTO BATTLE WITH DRAWN SWORD
AGAINST THE TURKS.
WE DID OUR BIT IN THE LAST LOT.
I HEARD THE DRUM AND FIFE YESTERDAY
MARCHING PAST.
IT MADE MY HAIR STAND ON END.
WHAT DID WE KNOW?
A COUPLE OF KIDS, 17.
I FOUGHT AGAINST THE TURKS, MACHETES AGAINST ARTILLERY.
UNTIL VICTORY IS WON...
DAD!
UNCLE MAC!
DAD.
[LAUGHTER]
DAD!
BOYS!
IT'S LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
SMASHING TO SEE YOU.
YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I'LL SEE YOU.
TAKE CARE.
HELLO, KIDS!
OH, SORRY, KIDS!
I JOINED UP. WHOO!
I NEEDED SOME DUTCH COURAGE TO TELL YOUR MOTHER.
NEVER SAY DIE!
STEADY, THE BUFFS!
ARM THE ARSENAL!
HA HA HA!
OH, HE'S ONE OF THE BEST.
GET AWAY!
HA HA HA!
YOU SHUT HIS HAND IN THE DOOR.
YOU SILLY BEGGAR!
AHH!
WE'RE TRYING TO WIN A WAR,
AND YOU SHUT YOUR FINGERS IN A CAR DOOR!
AHH! MY HAND!
SORRY.
THAT'S IT,
FOR THE DURATION.
POP IN AND GIVE HER A POLISH, BILLY BOY,
JUST NOW AND THEN.
A CAR NEEDS TO BE CHERISHED.
HAS SUE GOT IT RIGHT?
WHAT'S THAT?
YOU JOINED UP.
OH, THAT!
I WISH YOU COULD HAVE TOLD ME YOURSELF.
OH, GRACE. IT'S NOT FOR LONG.
THEY SAY IT'LL BE OVER BY CHRISTMAS.
HEY!
NO. NO, LEAVE--
YES.
I DON'T WANT TO--
COME ON.
STOP IT!
DON'T BE DAFT!
ACT YOUR AGE!
HA HA HA!
I CAN'T COPE ON MY OWN.
I'D BETTER LET THE CHILDREN GO.
OH!
NICE CATCH, BILLY.
OOH! OH!
HIYA!
OH!
BILLY, BEFORE I GO,
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO TELL YOU.
YOU'RE NOT QUITE OLD ENOUGH, BUT...
WELL...
IT'S THE GOOGLIE.
YOUR HAND IS TOO SMALL TO MASTER IT,
BUT YOU CAN MAKE A START.
ANYWAY...
I'M GOING TO PASS ON THE SECRET NOW,
FATHER TO SON, IN CASE...
IN CASE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME.
ALL RIGHT?
NOW...
YOU KNOW THE LEG BREAK, RIGHT?
AND THE OFF BREAK?
NOW, THE GOOGLIE LOOKS LIKE A LEG BREAK,
BUT IT'S REALLY AN OFF BREAK.
GOT IT? LIKE THIS.
THAT'S LIKE TELLING FIBS.
WHEN YOU TELL A LIE,
YOU WANT TO GET AWAY WITH IT.
BUT WHEN SOMEONE ELSE DOES,
YOU WANT TO FIND THEM OUT.
A GOOD BATSMAN WILL SPOT A GOOGLIE.
A GOOD BOWLER WILL HIDE IT.
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT, SON.
GOOD-BYE, GRACE.
OH, GRACE.
TAP'S RUNNING.
MUST GO.
BE GOOD.
BYE-BYE, DADDY.
GOOD-BYE, DAWN.
TAKE CARE OF SUSIE.
BYE, BILLY.
BILLY...
GOOD-BYE, BILLY.
BILLY!
DON'T FORGET WHAT I TOLD YOU.
DAD!
MMM! THERE YOU ARE.
OOH! I WISH I COULD PACK YOU UP.
OH! BYE-BYE.
WE HAD TO GO AWAY ON OUR OWN
ALL THE TIME, DIDN'T WE, GRACE?
EVER SO YOUNG...
YOU SURVIVED THAT LOT.
THE WAR SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM.
TIME TO GO.
OH, LET'S SEE THEM OFF.

HE SAID DON'T GO ON THE BOMB SITES.
BOYS ARE GOING MISSING.
THEY'RE NOT.

IF YOU FIND THEM HIDING,
THEY'LL CUT YOUR THROATS.

YOU CAN ASK HER. ASK PAULINE.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
YOUR MUM GOT KILLED LAST NIGHT.
THERE YOU ARE. TOLD YOU.
DO YOU FEEL ROTTEN, PAULINE?
SHE DOES FEEL ROTTEN.
ASK HER IF SHE WANTS TO PLAY.
ASK HER YOURSELF.
NO, YOU ASK HER. YOU'RE A GIRL.
PAULINE.
DO YOU WANT SOME SHRAPNEL?
NO.
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?
GO AWAY!
TERRY!

AHH.
BILLY FOUND THIS TINY PARACHUTE.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT WAS FOR.
DOES THE PIANO WORK, GRACE?
IT'S COVERED WITH DUST.
LET'S HAVE A LISTEN.
PLAY SOMETHING, GRACE.
?? ?? ????
RECOGNIZE THAT, DAWN?
?? WHEN THEY BEGIN THE BEGUINE... ??
WE DIDN'T USE TO SING SO MUCH BEFORE THE WAR.
NOT IN THE DAYTIME, ANYWAY.

DAWN'S COME ON FAST.
THAT'S THE WAR FOR YOU.

I GOT HIM!
YOU HEAR ME, YOU KNUCKLEHEADS?
STOP IT!
WHAT A GREAT SHOT!
TEACH HIM A LESSON.
THINK THEY CAN COME OVER HERE

WASN'T THAT YOUR SISTER, ROWAN?
?? SEE THE SAME OLD MOON ??
?? I HEAR THE SAME OLD TUNE ??
?? WE LOVE TO DANCE... ????
AND WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?
HA...
OUT.
GO UPSTAIRS TO YOUR BEDROOM
AND TAKE OFF THAT LIPSTICK.
NO! I WON'T!
YOU WOULDN'T DARE DEFY ME
IF YOUR FATHER WAS HERE!
GET UP THOSE STAIRS!
IF YOU'VE FINISHED, I'M GOING!
OH!
YOU BITCH!
YOU!
WHY IS IT I COULD NEVER, EVER, EVER
GET A HOLD ON YOU?
I CAN'T GET A HOLD ON YOU ANYWHERE!
STOP!
YOU!
I WANT HIM!
I WANT HIM SO MUCH!
I'LL KILL MYSELF IF I DON'T HAVE HIM!
THERE, THERE.
OH, MY BABY.
GO IF YOU WANT.
WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
WE MAY ALL BE DEAD TOMORROW.
I CAN'T GO LIKE THIS.
YOU'D BETTER BRING HIM HOME
IF YOU REALLY DO LOVE HIM.
DON'T KILL LOVE.
YOU'LL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT LOVE?
OH...

JAM.
JAM! JAM!
WHAT KIND OF JAM?
IT'S NOT LIKE ANY JAM I KNOW.
IT'S GERMAN JAM!
WELL, IT'S ALL RIGHT!
IT CAME FROM A GERMAN SHIP--
GOT SUNK.
THIS STUFF WASHED ASHORE.
OUR BOYS FOUND IT ON THE BEACH.
WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
IT'S OFF-RATION. WE KNOW THAT!
MAYBE THEY PLANTED IT.
THEY KNOW WE ARE MAD ON JAM.
THEY COULD POISON THE COUNTRY!
COME AWAY.
I DON'T WANT YOU STANDING TOO CLOSE.
COME HERE, SUSIE.
WELL?
IT LOOKS... FOREIGN.
JAM IS JAM!
IT'S JUST...
JAM!
I'M NOT HAVING ANY,
EVEN IF IT'S NOT POISONED.
IT'S NOT RIGHT.
IT'S NOT PATRIOTIC.
YOU DON'T LIKE JAM.
YOU NEVER EAT JAM.
YOUHATEJAM.
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
TASTE IT!
WHY DON'T YOU TASTE IT?
YOUTASTE IT.
GIVE US SOME, DAD!
HA HA!
THAT'S IT! COME ON.
YOU MEAN THEY LET YOU GO
THROUGH THE OFFICER'S TRAINING COURSE,
AND THEN SAID YOU WERE TOO OLD FOR A COMMISSION?
THAT'S IT.
WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY THAT BEFORE?
I WASN'T TOO OLD WHEN I STARTED IT,
JUST WHEN I FINISHED IT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO BE, THEN?
A CLERK.
I'LL DO A TYPING COURSE.
I SHALL BE TYPING FOR ENGLAND.
OH!
POOR CLIVE!
AND YOU--
YOU WANTED IT SO MUCH!
HA HA!
YOU'RE SUCH A BABY!
IT'S NICE JAM,
NEARLY AS NICE AS ENGLISH JAM.
YOU KNOW WHAT I ALWAYS SAY?
JAM IS JAM, THE WORLD OVER.
HA HA HA!
HELLO, BRUCE.
HI.
BRUCE, THIS IS MY FATHER.
DAD, CORPORAL BRUCE CAREY.
PRIVATE ROWAN.
BRUCE, LOOK!
DAD GOT SOME GERMAN JAM!
WE THOUGHT IT WAS POISONED!
HA HA HA!
MMM!
[COUGH COUGH]
THE POISON WAS AT THE BOTTOM!
HA HA HA!
THANK YOU, SUSIE.
WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'LL GET LEAVE AGAIN?
NOT TILL CHRISTMAS, I DON'T SUPPOSE.
OH! I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T SEND THEM TO YOUR AUNT.
HELLO!
WELCOME HOME, PET!
HELLO, DARLING.
YOU LOOK MARVELOUS!
HELLO, CLIVE.
HELLO, MAC, OLD BOY!
LOOK WHAT MOL'S GOT!
TEARS BEFORE BEDTIME.
DAD! COME TO THE BOMB SITE.
[SNAP]
HA HA HA! WAH!
CAREFUL, BILLY.
WHAT KIND OF WAR IS THIS, MAC?
YEEOOWWRR...
DAD, UP HERE.
IN CUMBERLAND, WE NEVER SEE AN AIR RAID.
MY WORST PROBLEM IS
GETTING A NEW TYPEWRITER RIBBON.
WHEN I RODE AGAINST THE TURKS,
I KNEW WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.
DID YOU?
YOU THOUGHT YOU DID.
WE'VE BEEN GYPPED ALL OUR LIVES, SMILER.
TAKE YOUR STREET.
WHAT ABOUT IT?
ROSE HILL AVENUE-- NO ROSES, NO HILL,
AND IT'S CERTAINLY NOT AN AVENUE.
WHY NOT?
YOU NEED TREES FOR AN AVENUE.
THERE WAS TALK OF PLANTING SOME
WHEN WE FIRST CAME.
PROPAGANDA. WE'VE BEEN HAD.
HOW'S YOUR WAR, MAC?
NEVER DONE BETTER.
ON THE FIDDLE,
SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.
EXCEPT THE SERVICEMEN.
NATURALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IS THERE NO POINT TO IT?
THERE IS--HITLER.
WE'VE GOT TO WINKLE HIM OUT,
GET SHUT SOME OF OUR LOT, TOO.
LOOK HOW WILD THAT BOY'S GOT.
AS FOR DAWN--
16, GOING AROUND WITH A SOLDIER.
HA!
KEEP AN EYE ON THEM FOR ME, WILL YOU?
THERE'S A PAL.
I MADE A MESS OF IT ALL.
I'VE BEEN SUCH A BLOODY FOOL.
YOU ALWAYS WERE, SMILER.
STEADY, THE BUFFS.
BUGGER THE BUFFS.
DAD!
LOOK! THE BIRD BLEW!
A ROGUE BALLOON!
THE FINS ARE PUNCTURED!
YEAH. IT'S LOST STABILITY.
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A ROGUE BALLOON!
A ROGUE BALLO--
OH!
[GLASS BREAKS]
GET IN!
OH! OH, NO!
IT'S COMING THIS WAY.
DON'T PANIC!
KEEP YOUR HEADS!
I WILL IF YOU WILL.
OH! OH!
GET BACK.
COME ON, GET BACK.
GET BACK NICE AND CLEAR, NOW.
[GLASS BREAKS]
IT'S...
WONDERFUL!
THEY'RE LOVELY WHEN THEY'RE FULL.
ISN'T IT SAD WHEN THEY SAG?
HA HA HA!
HE GOT FED UP
AND DECIDED TO HAVE FUN.
OH, THERE HE GOES.
OOH, LOOK AT HIM.
GET BACK. GET BACK!
HOME GUARD COMING THROUGH.
GET BACK.
GET INSIDE! COME ON.
CLEAR THE STREET.
DO YOU HAVE TO?
OH, LEAVE IT ALONE!
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO GO AND DO THAT?
[IMITATING AIR RAID SIREN AND BOMBS DROPPING]
[TAP TAP TAP]
NOT DAWN AGAIN.
THAT'S BRUCE.
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
SHH! SHUT UP!
I SUPPOSE THEY'RE STILL LEARNING.
THAT'S WHY THEY KEEP MOVING.
IT'S EASY. I'VEDONE IT.
WHO WITH?
PAULINE.
LIAR.
MUMMY KEEPS STILL
AND DADDY MOVES ON TOP OF HER.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY KNOW HOW.
THAT WAS SOME AIR RAID.
AIR RAID?
DIDN'T YOU FEEL THE HOUSE ROCK?
YOU MUST'VE SEEN THOSE SHELL BURSTS.
HA HA HA!
SHH.
LET'S GET MARRIED.
WE CAN LIVE IN MONTREAL.
I COULD TEACH YOU FRENCH.
JE T'AIME.
DON'T GET SMOOCHY.
YOU'LL SPOIL IT.
WE HAD A WEEK-- A WHOLE WONDERFUL WEEK.
THE MOST WONDERFUL HONEYMOON
ANY COUPLE EVER HAD.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
GOOD-BYE, MY DARLING.
PROMISE YOU WILL BE CAREFUL.
CHIN UP. THERE'S A BRAVE GIRL.
IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO YOU, I...
ANDREW!
CAN I CHANGE THIS FOR A BIGGER ONE?
YES. LEAVE THAT ONE.
HELLO, EVELYN.
OH, HELLO, GRACE.
OH, GOD, HOW I HATE
ALL THIS SCRIMPING AND SQUALOR.
I DON'T MIND IT.
IT WAS HARDER BEFORE THE WAR--
TRYING TO KEEP UP APPEARANCES.
NOW, WELL, IT'S PATRIOTIC TO BE POOR.
WELL, I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING WITH A LITTLE OOMPH.
DON'T YOU LIKE IT?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COPE--
THREE KIDS, ARMY PAY, ON YOUR OWN.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, MOLLY?
I LIKE IT ON MY OWN.
IT'S TRUE.
I NEVER GOT USED TO SHARING MY BED.
NOT REALLY.
OOH, I LOVE A MAN IN BED.
THE SMELL OF HIM,
THE HAIRINESS RUBBING AGAINST YOU,
THE WEIGHT OF HIM!
THEN WHEN THEY DO IT TO YOU
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
AND YOU'RE NOT SURE IF YOU'RE DREAMING
OR IF IT'S HAPPENING.
OH, THAT'S THE BEST!
NO GUILTY FEELINGS.
NOT THAT I SHOULD HAVE ANY WIDE AWAKE.
MOLLY!
WELL.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MAC.
HE HASN'T TOUCHED ME FOR AGES,
AND NOT OFTEN EVER.
NO.
MY LIFE STARTED WHEN HE WENT ON NIGHT WORK.
OH! YOU'RE HAVING ME ON, MOLLY.
AM I?
LOOK AT THIS ONE.
THIS IS NICE.
DO YOU LIKE THE COLOR?
SORRY.
THAT'S NICE.
I SAW IT FIRST!
GIVE IT TO ME!
IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S NOT FAIR!
I LOVEPINK.
YOU'RE NOT DEVELOPED ENOUGH FOR THIS ONE.
WELL, I AM.
OH, LOOK!
OH!
YOU HORRIBLE...
HOW DARE YOU DO THAT!
BRAVO!
OH, MAC, THAT WAS WONDERFUL!
I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A CONCERT SINCE--
SINCE I USED TO TAKE YOU TO THE PROMS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
NOT SINCE THEN.
NOT SINCE I GOT MARRIED.
...MORE R-R-RIGHTLY TH-THAN IT DOES NOW.
HER EYES DON'T CLOSE.
SHH!
Y-Y-YOUR FORTITUDE, YOUR SACRIFICE,
Y-Y-YOUR SYMPATHY,
YOUR N-NEIGHBORLY KINDNESS.
MAY GOD...
BLESS YOU...
EVERY...
ONE.
OH!
HE WAS A LOT BETTER THIS YEAR.
YOU SAY THAT EVERY YEAR.
THE LAND AND THE KING ARE ONE, MY SON.
IF HE STUTTERS, WE FALTER.
HE'S GETTING BETTER.
SO ARE WE.
[TOOT]
[RADIO PLAYING GOD SAVE THE KING]
UH! UGH!
UGGHAHH!
URGHHH!
AAAAGGHH!
DAD'S FURIOUS!
IT WAS GOD SAVE THE KING.
WHOOAAHH...
AH! HA HA HA!
WHOO!
COME ON, BILLY.
THINK!
COME ON. FIRST WORD.
I KNOW THIS.
SECOND WORD.
OH, WHAT A LOVELY COUPLE OF TARTS!
JAM TART.
YES! YAY!
[DRUNKENLY] TIME...
TIME FOR MY ANNUAL TOAST.
CHARGE YOUR GLASSES.
OH, NO. DON'T, DADA.
TO NELLIE McDONALD.
THELMA RICHARDSON.
MAMA, PLEASE STAY.
BOBO HINDES.
LILY SANDERS.
GEORGE, STOP IT. THIS IS MY HOUSE.
I WON'T PERMIT SUCH BEHAVIOR.
LITTLE SARAH...WHAT?
THERE WAS SPIRIT!
MARJORIE ANDERSON.
THAT'S ENOUGH NOW. SIT DOWN!
AND HENRY CHAPMAN'S GIRL.
WAS IT THELMA?
NO.
I CAN SEE THOSE CORNFLOWER EYES.
I'VE LOST YOUR NAME, MY SWEET.
MUST WE LISTEN TO THIS NONSENSE
EVERY YEAR?
YOU'RE DRUNK, DADA! SIT DOWN.
BETTY BROWNING.
BETTY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I'M 73 YEARS OLD.
I'VE SEEN HALF THE WONDERS
OF THE WORLD,
AND I'VE NEVER LAID EYES
ON A FINER SIGHT
THAN THE CURVE
OF BETTY BROWNING'S BREASTS.
HA HA!
MY GIRLS,
DEAD YOU MAY BE, OR OLD AND WITHERED,
BUT WHILE I LIVE,
I WILL DO YOU HONOR TO THE LAST.
BLESS ALL OF YOU!
OH, GEORGE.
IT WAS SHEILA, GRANDPA.
WHAT'S THAT?
HENRY CHAPMAN'S DAUGHTER.
IT WAS SHEILA. I REMEMBER FROM LAST YEAR.
SO IT WAS.
SHEILA.
HEY, THIS BOY WILL GO FAR.
YEAH. SHEILA. HA HA HA!
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
WHAT IS IT?
WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SAY,
BUT WE'RE BEING SHIPPED OUT TOMORROW.
WHERE?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU DO. YOU'RE JUST NOT SAYING!
I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW.
HERE'S YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
YOU EXPECT ME TO SPEND THE WAR
SITTING HOME STARING AT A RING,
AND YOU'LL MEET SOME FRENCH GIRL
WHO SPEAKS YOUR OWN LANGUAGE!
WELL, NO, THANK YOU!
PLEASE YOURSELF.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE A COUPLE OF KIDS!
MUM!
HE JUST CAN'T BEAR TO LOSE.
OH, SHUSH!
WHAT IS IT, DAWN?
FOR GOD'S SAKE!
HE'S BEEN POSTED,
AND I WAS HORRIBLE TO HIM!
OH...
DON'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.
GO AFTER HIM, DAWN.
COME ON, NOW. SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE.
WHAT IS IT NOW?
OH.
WE'VE MISSED THEM!
THEY'VE GONE!
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE.
YOU CAN SEE I'M NOT A SPY!
I WOULD IF I COULD, EH?
BUT I CAN'T.
HE'LL WRITE AS SOON AS HE CAN.
YEAH, SURE HE WILL. YOU'LL MEET AGAIN.
?? DON'T KNOW WHERE, DON'T KNOW WHEN ??
?? IN THE MEANTIME ??
?? I'LL BE FREE TOMORROW NIGHT ????
WHOO! COME ON!
HEY!
[WOLF WHISTLE]
GOOD-BYE, DAD!
[BEEP BEEP]
THAT LETTER THIS MORNING--
WAS IT FROM BRUCE?
WHAT DID HE SAY?
HE SAID I WAS RIGHT, I SHOULDN'T WAIT FOR HIM.
IT WAS BETTER TO MAKE A CLEAN BREAK.
PROBABLY VERY SENSIBLE
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
NOW HE'S GONE AND MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM,
WHICH I NEVER WANTED TO DO!
THE RING!
I FOUND THE RING!
YOU NEEDN'T HAVE BOTHERED, BILL.
GOT YOU!
YOU CAN RUN QUITE FAST, MUM.
WHEN I FIRST MET YOUR MOTHER,
SHE COULD STAND ON HER HANDS!
PERHAPS I STILL CAN.
OH, A STITCH.
IT'S AGES SINCE I HAVE.
YOU NEVER KNOW TILL YOU TRY.
YES!
NO, NO, NO, NO.
WHOOP. GOOD!
OOH!
[EXPLOSION]
WHAT'S THAT?
BIG BERTHA SHELLING FRANCE.
25-MILE RANGE THEY'VE GOT.
SEND A FEW OVER EVERY DAY
TO REMIND THEM WE'RE STILL HERE.
EACH SHELL COSTS THE PRICE
OF A FORD 8.
WHO PAYS FOR THEM?
WE WILL, YOU WILL,
THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
REMEMBER THIS BEACH, MAC?
ALL THOSE SUMMERS...
[PLAYING HARMONICA]
JUST THE TWO FAMILIES TOGETHER.
HAPPY DAYS, GRACE.
NOW THERE'S JUST THE TWO OF US.
THANKS FOR TODAY, MAC.
WHEN YOU GET BIGGER, BILLY,
I'LL TEACH YOU THE GOOGLIE.
THANKS.
HA HA HA!
?? THERE'LL BE BLUEBIRDS OVER ??
?? THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER ??
?? TOMORROW, JUST... ??
[EXPLOSION]
THERE GOES ANOTHER FORD 8,
UNCLE MAC.
?? THERE'LL BE LOVE AND LAUGHTER ??
?? AND TEARS EVER AFTER ??
?? TOMORROW, WHEN THE WORLD IS FREE ????
MAC, DID YOU EVER FIND OUT
WHO MOLLY WENT OFF WITH?
A POLISH PILOT.
SOUNDS LIKE A BAD JOKE ON THE WIRELESS, HMM?
YOU MISS HER.
WELL, I KNOW I DO.
SHE SAID, "I KNOW YOU LOVE ME, MAC,
BUT YOU NEVER LOVED ME ENOUGH."
HMM.
NOT LOVING ENOUGH.
IT'S A TERRIBLE THING TO DO TO SOMEONE.
I SUPPOSE I DID IT TO CLIVE.
I...
ALWAYS HELD SOMETHING BACK.
[SNORE]
ALL BETTER LEFT UNSAID, GRACE.
YOU WERE NEVER APART,
YOU AND CLIVE.
HE KEPT ASKING AND ASKING.
I KEPT WAITING AND WAITING
FOR YOU TO SAY SOMETHING,
BUT YOU NEVER DID.
CLIVE HAD A JOB.
I DIDN'T.
I COULDN'T.
[SNORE]
WE DID THE DECENT THING, GRACE.
THIS WAR HAS PUT AN END TO DECENT THINGS.
WE CAN'T CHANGE WHAT'S PAST.
NOT EVEN THE WAR CAN DO THAT.
WE DID THE PROPER THING,
BUT WE LOST LOVE,
AND THAT'S SAD, MAC.
DAWN!
MUM!
OH, MUM!
OH, THANK GOD YOU'RE SAFE!
WAS THAT YOUR HOUSE, MADAM?
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN AIR RAID.
IT WASN'T A BOMB, JUST A FIRE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IT HAPPENS IN WARTIME AS WELL,
YOU KNOW.
WILL MY SHRAPNEL MELT?
I SHOULDN'T THINK SO.
I JUST WISH I'D WORN MY NYLONS.
HUH! MY RATION BOOKS ARE IN THERE!
GRACE! NO, GRACE!
HERE, JUST A MINUTE.
I WANT MY RATION BOOKS!
WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU, AS WELL.
HERE, GRACE, TAKE SUE.
OH, SUE.
HAVE YOU GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO?
IT'S ALL RIGHT. SHE'S WITH ME.
HEY, ROGER, LOOK.
GOOD.
BANG, BANG, BANG!
RUBBISH!
AH, LOOK! A MOUNTED WIRELESS.
THIS IS MY HOUSE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING--
ROGER!
BILLY! BILLY, STOP THAT!
YOU LOT, OUT OF THERE, NOW!
BILLY, BILLY, THAT'S ENOUGH.
COME ON.
THAT'S ENOUGH, BILL.
SHH.
RUN FOR IT!
[JEERING]
THE SEWING MACHINE DOESN'T LOOK TOO BAD.
ALL MY LITTLE SOLDIERS ARE MELTED.
HUH!
OH!
MAC. MAC, LOOK.
SOME OF THE SNAPS ARE SAFE.
POOR THINGS.
GRACE...
THIS COAT SHOULD FIT YOU,
AND HERE'S A FEW BITS
FOR THE KITCHEN.
THANKS EVER SO MUCH, EVELYN.
LOOK, MUM.
HERE, DAWN. TRY THIS.
WHAT'S THIS, THEN?
MY...MY LITTLE SOLDIERS.
[SOBS]
OH...
THEY'RE ONLY THINGS.
WE STILL HAVE EACH OTHER.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE HOUSE.
I JUST HATE ALL THESE PEOPLE WATCHING US
AND BEING NICE.
COMING!
DELIVERANCE IS AT HAND!
ALL WILL BE WELL!
DIFFERENT WORLD, EH, BILLY?
NOT 20 MILES FROM PICCADILLY.
CATCH THE LINE.
TIE IT UP, NOW.
CAN YOU HANDLE ANOTHER SHOCK?
YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GRANDMA.
HELLO, GRANDMA!
I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING!
IT'S ONLY A HOUSE--
A GHASTLY ONE, AT THAT.
THEY SHOULD BE BURNED, AND THE BUILDER HANGED!
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT?
YOU MARRIED THAT FOOL CLIVE, THAT'S WHAT!
NEVER MIND, NEVER MIND.
YOU CAN STAY WITH US.
HOW LONG?
THREE AND A HALF MONTHS.
AS LONG AS THAT? ALL RIGHT, WHY NOT?
IT'S NEARLY SUMMER. LET THE NIPPERS RUN WILD.
BLESS YOU, MAC.
WHA--
WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU?
YOU MIGHT STILL HAVE A HOUSE.
I WISH IT ALL COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT.
TAKE CARE, GRACE.
PUSH OFF.
JUMP IN.
DOWN, BILLY.
ALL I HAVE LEFT IN THE WORLD
IS IN THIS LITTLE BOAT.
CAN I HAVE A TRY?
PUT YOUR HAND ON MINE.
GET THE KNACK OF IT.
I SHALL TEACH YOU THE WAYS OF THE RIVER.
ANOTHER YEAR IN THAT AWFUL SUBURB,
AND YOU'D HAVE BEEN PAST SAVING.
LOOK!
THEY'RE COMING THIS WAY, THE FUTURE ON THE MARCH.
I CURSE YOU, VOLT, WATT, AND AMP!
BASTARDS!
BILLY, COME HERE.
HAVE A LISTEN.
SEE IF YOU CAN HEAR ANYTHING.
OOH! YOU'RE FREEZING COLD!
A SHOCK LIKE THAT
COULD GIVE ME A MISCARRIAGE!
THAT'S AN IDEA. DO IT AGAIN!
BREAKFAST, ALL.
MORNING, GRANDMA.
SLEEP WELL, DARLING?
MM-HMM. MORNING, GRANDPA.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
FOR THE NEW RATION BOOKS, GRACE, DEAR?
ABOUT SIX WEEKS, I THINK.
HOW WILL WE COPE?
NETTLE SOUP, LIKE IN THE GREAT WAR.
VERY NOURISHING.
BILL AND I WILL CATCH FISH.
RIVER FOWL WILL LAY EGGS SOON.
WE'LL HUNT, FORAGE, OVERCOME.
WHAT ABOUT TEA AND SUGAR, CLEVER DICK?
BE STILL!
NOBODY MOVE. FETCH MY GUN.
HMM?
AAH!
YAAH! THE WILY DEVIL!
DADA, REALLY.
NEVER LET A RAT CREEP UP ON YOU, BILL.
[SIGHS]
I THINK YOU HIT HIM, GRANDPA.
HMM?
HE WAS LIMPING WHEN HE RAN OFF.
[SNICKERING]
HA HA HA HA!
I'M SO SORRY!
HA HA HA HA!
NYAH HAH HAH!
UP, 2, 3.
THROW THE POLE FORWARD,
LET IT SLIDE THROUGH YOUR FINGERS.
DON'T PUSH UNTIL IT HITS THE BOTTOM.
SUCH NICE BOYS,
WITH STRAW BOATERS AND BLAZERS.
THE PUNTS ON THE RIVER
LIT WITH CHINESE LANTERNS, LIKE FIREFLIES.
THROW THE POLE FORWARD.
LET IT SLIDE THROUGH YOUR FINGERS.
DON'T PUSH UNTIL IT HITS THE BOTTOM.
AND THE GRAMOPHONE GOING ON ONE OF THE BOATS--
ALWAYS THE CHARLESTON.
?? CHARLESTON ??
?? DO DO DO CHARLESTON ????
OH, YOU GIRLS!
WASN'T IT LOVELY?
MMMM.
NOW CHECK THAT SPINNER.
NO LUCK, GRANDPA.
UP, 2, 3...
NOW YOU HAVE A GO, LAD.
PUT YOUR MIGHT AND MAIN BEHIND IT.
HOLD IT STEADY.
NOW DOWN WITH IT. THAT'S IT.
NOW PUSH.
PUSH IT UP, 2, 3, 4.
HE'S GETTING BETTER, ISN'T HE?
LET IT SLIDE THROUGH YOUR FINGERS, LAD.
LET IT SLIDE!
OH.
UP, 2, 3. COME ON NOW.
LET IT SLIDE THROUGH YOUR FINGERS.
THAT'S IT.
NOW PUSH, PUSH.
IT'S STUCK, GRANDPA.
WELL, PULL IT OUT, LAD. PULL IT OUT!
LET IT GO!
HANG ON!
OH, HA HA!
AAH! AAH!
OH!
AAH! AAH!
UH!
OH!
NOWTHERE'SA LESSON FOR LIFE.
NEVER GIVE UP THE PUNT FOR THE POLE.
OH, BILLY!
HELLO, DARLING! AWW...
AH!
HELLO, MY DARLINGS!
HELLO!
YES, IT IS LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I'M TERRIBLY SORRY...
I'M SO EXCITED TO BE HERE...
DAWN! NO WORD FROM BRUCE, MY PET?
ALL MEN ARE BEASTS, DARLING.
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THEM.
GO SAY HELLO TO YOUR DADA.
HELLO, DADA.
CHARITY.
HELLO, DADA.
HOPE.
AFTERNOON, FAITH.
AH, ALL HENS AND NO COCKS.
TOO MANY WOMEN IN OUR FAMILY.
THEY'RE A DIFFERENT SPECIES FROM US, BILL.
DON'T YOU LOVE THEM?
OH, YES, LOVE THEM,
BUT DON'T TRY TO UNDERSTAND THEM.
THAT ROAD LEADS TO RUIN!
YOU SAID WE COULD HAVE A GAME OF CRICKET.
SO I DID. COME ON.
YOU DON'T WANT IT?
YOU LOOK FRUSTRATED, FAITHIE.
THAT HUSBAND OF YOURS
STILL CAN'T RISE TO THE OCCASION?
HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP.
DON'T LET HIM GET HOLD OF BILLY.
I WON'T HAVE THE HUSBANDS HERE.
ALL FOUR GIRLS MARRIED DUDS, INCLUDING YOUR MOTHER.
THEY'LL TAME YOU IF THEY CAN,
CAGE YOU, FEED YOU TIDBITS.
I BAT FIRST.
COME ALONG, MY DEARS. TEA'S READY.
MIDDLE OF THE LANE?
6 AND OUT IN THE RIVER, GRANDPA?
CERTAINLY NOT!
YES!
THAT WAS A GOOGLIE!
I KNOW.
YOU'RE A DARK HORSE,
BOWLING GOOGLIES AT YOUR AGE.
TOSS ME UP ANOTHER.
NO, GRANDPA. YOU'RE OUT.
IT'S MY TURN.
AAH. MAY A THOUSAND CURSES...
READY?
ARRGH!
UH!
2!
HAH! HOO! OH!
4!
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY'RE CALLED
FAITH, HOPE, GRACE, AND CHARITY?
6. WHY?
YOUR GRANDMOTHER NAMED THEM AFTER THE VIRTUES I LACK.
8!
8?
ARRR! DAMNED IMPOSSIBLE, LAD.
MUMMY, CAN I HAVE THE YELLOW CAKE?
YES, DARLING.
WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE.
IT'S SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE YOU ALL HERE.
YAAH!
AH!
BLAST YOU, I AIN'T DONE WITH THIS!
2.
DAMNED CHILD!
4.
UH! UH!
LOST BALL! STOP RUNNING!
IT'S ONLY A GAME, GRANDPA.
6 AND OUT! 6 AND OUT!
AND THOSE CLOTHES ARE REALLY GOOD.
THIS IS JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
WHERE'S THE FISH?
WE GOT SOME EGGS, GRANDPA.
NEVER MIND THE EGGS.
CATCH SOME FISH! BE OFF WITH YOU!
AND DON'T COME BACK EMPTY-HANDED,
OR THERE'S NO SUPPER.
RRR...
DID YOU GET A BITE, BILL?
NO. DID YOU?
NO.
I'M SCARED TO GO BACK WITHOUT ANY FISH.
IHATEGRANDPA!
[AIRPLANE]
A STRAY BOMBER!
GERMAN. MUST HAVE LOST HIS SQUADRON.
[BOOM!]
FISH! BELLY UP OUT THERE!
THIS IS GOING TOO FAR, YOUNG MAN.
BUT YOU SAID, GRANDPA!
I CONCEDE I WAS INSISTENT,
BUT HOW THE DEVIL--
DADA, IT'S WONDERFUL!
LOOKS A BIT FISHY TO ME.
COULD WE SALT THEM OR SMOKE THEM, DO YOU THINK?
IT'S LIKE THE FEEDING OF THE 5,000.
IT'S A MIRACLE!
SO IT'S MIRACLES NOW, IS IT?
IT'LL STINK!
WHY DON'T YOU INVITE YOUR FRIENDS ROUND, GRANDPA?
I HAVE NO FRIENDS, ONLY RELATIONS.
OH, DADA!
DAWN!
DAWN, IT'S ME!
JUST IGNORE HIM.
BILL!
BILL, WILL YOU BRING THAT CANOE OVER HERE?
KEEP GOING, BILLY. STICK TO THIS BANK.
COME ON!
WILL YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN?
FASTER, BILLY, FASTER.
DAWN! SUSIE!
I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, SUE ROWAN.
DAWN!
I COULDN'T WRITE. IT WAS A SECRET POSTING.
I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD ABOUT THE BABY.
GO AWAY!
I'VE DESERTED.
I WENT AWOL TO BE WITH YOU.
I HATE YOU!
BRUCE!
BRUCE! BRUCE, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
NOBODY CAN HOLD THEIR BREATHTHATLONG.
OH! BRUCE!
I'VE MISSED YOU. I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH.
I'VE MISSED YOU, BABY.
OH...
[CHEERING]
SO GLAD YOU COULD COME.
HERE WE ARE, ALL TOGETHER AGAIN.
?? HAPPY AS CAN BE... ????
YOU'RE GOING TO BE A GRANDFATHER, EH, SMILER?
I'M JUST A LAD MYSELF.
DON'T GROW UP. IT'S NO FUN.
I BELIEVE ELSIE DRINKWATER'S BURIED HERE.
THAT TROLLOP!
TAKE A SNAP NOW, QUICK, QUICK.
NOW LINE UP FOR A PHOTOGRAPH,
EVERYBODY.
THE SMALLEST IN THE FRONT.
COME ON. QUICK, QUICK.
A COUPLE OF SNAPS, PLEASE, SERGEANT?
WIND SLOWLY. WIND SLOWLY.
AW!
HEY!
BYE-BYE, BRUCE!
BE BRAVE!
KEEP SMILING!
AW!
LEFT, LEFT...
COME ON, BOYS, LEFT, LEFT.
[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC]
PHEW!
"WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH FOUR DAUGHTERS?"
I ASKED MYSELF.
FOUR DAUGHTERS!
A STRING QUARTET WAS ALL I COULD COME UP WITH.
THEY HATED ME
FOR MAKING THEM LEARN.
AND NOW WE'RE GLAD YOU DID.
WELL, HERE'S TO MUSIC
AND ABSENT FRIENDS...
AND ABSENT BRIDEGROOMS...
AND...THE BRIDE.
THE BRIDE!
AND WAIT FOR IT...
HERE'S TO MY C.O.
HE'S WANGLED ME A POSTING CLOSE TO HOME.
HE SAID, "YOUR HOUSE BURNS DOWN,
"YOUR DAUGHTER GETS MARRIED,
"YOU'RE ALWAYS AWAY ON COMPASSIONATE LEAVE.
"PACK UP YOUR TYPEWRITER.
FIGHT THE BLOODY WAR DOWN THERE!"
CLIVE,
I'VE FOUND THIS LITTLE BUNGALOW TO RENT
DOWN THE TOW-PATH.
I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THE RIVER AGAIN.
THE CHILDREN HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL SUMMER.
FAIR ENOUGH. THE RIVER.
THE RIVER! THE RIVER!
AND LOYAL FRIENDS
AND GOOD AND FAITHFUL WIVES--
WE HOPE AND TRUST--
AND GRUMPY GRANDFATHERS.
SINCE YOU'RE SHORTLY TO JOIN OUR RANKS,
I THROW DOWN THE GAUNTLET.
A CRICKET MATCH--YOU AND MAC AGAINST BILL AND ME. ON?
OOH!
UGH!
MAC PLAYED FOR SURREY SECONDS,
AND I OPENED FOR THE INDIAN ARMY.
AW, WE'VE HEARD THAT A THOUSAND TIMES.
CLASS WILL TELL.
IT'S AN OLIVE BRANCH.
TAKE IT. IT'S THE BEST HE CAN DO. COME ON.
YOU'RE BATTING FIRST.
I ALWAYS GET THE STACCATO WRONG.
IT WAS ME.
SHE'S NOT FEELING TOO GOOD.
OH, DARLING!
OH!
IT WAS A GOOD LIFT.
TURNED A BIT, TOO.
HE'LL MAKE A GOOD PLAYER.
GIVE HIM THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT.
ALL RIGHT, GRANDPA.
THAT WAS A GOOGLIE!
A GOOGLIE?
YOU DIDN'T SPOT IT, CLIVE.
I TAUGHT HIM HOW. NOW HE TURNS IT AGAINST ME.
THE LAW OF LIFE'S CRUEL, ISN'T IT?
YOU WICKED OLD GUVNER.
WELL DONE, LAD!
OOF!
I'M PROUD OF YOU.
CLIVE!
WHAT'S UP?
CLIVE!
WE'RE COMING!
DON'T PANIC.
CLIVE!
WHAT IS IT?
CLIVE, FETCH THE DOCTOR.
YOU ILL?
NOT ME. DAWN. SHE'S IN LABOR.
HOT WATER! LOTS OF IT!
WHAT FOR?
THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT IN THE PICTURES.
HURRY!
OH!
[PANTING]
AAH!
NOW, BREATHE DEEPLY.
PUSH.
WHY? IT'S COMING ON ITS OWN.
PUSH!
AAHH!
IT DOESN'T HURT. AAAH!
CALM DOWN. IT'S ALL HERE.
OH, GO AWAY, DADA!
OH! AAH! AAH! THERE IT IS!
IT'S ALL STICKY.
OH! THERE IT IS!
A LITTLE BOY.
AH! OOH!
IT'S A LITTLE BOY.
[DOG BARKING]
WHA....RRAAH!
YOU...
[DOG BARKING]
GET HIM! GET HIM!
GO ON! GET HIM!
THIS IS NOT THE END.
NO, THIS IS NOT EVEN
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
BUT IT IS, PERHAPS, THE END OF THE BEGINNING.
I SCRUMPED IT. I NEARLY GOT CAUGHT.
THEY CHASED ME FOR AGES!
OH, YOU DID THAT FOR ME?
AND ON THE LAST DAY OF YOUR HOLIDAYS?
WELL, FOR THE BABY, REALLY.
WELL, THANK YOU, BILLY, FROM THE BABY AND ME.
YOU'RE NOT THAT BAD, REALLY, ARE YOU, BILLY?
AW, YOU MISERABLE LITTLE TRIPE-HOUND.
I'M THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE FED UP.
SACRIFICING MY LAST SUP OF BLACK MARKET PETROL
TO TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL.
I'VE GOT TO LIVE IN ROSE HILL AVENUE.
ONLY UNTIL WE GET YOU INTO THE LOCAL SCHOOL.
WITH MRS. EVANS!
YOU'LL BE HOME FOR WEEKENDS.
NOW SHUT UP OR WALK!
GREAT STRAPPING FELLOWS PLAYING SILLY BUGGERS
WITH A WAR ON--
OUTRAGEOUS!
ALL YOU DO IS KNOCK THE SENSE OUT OF THEM
AND, AND, AND... FILL THEM UP WITH MUCK!
[CHILDREN CHEERING]
WHOOPEE!
YAY!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
OH, MY GOD!
THAT'S MY SCHOOL!
YAY!
ROWAN! ROWAN!
YAY!
IT WAS A STRAY BOMB. THANK YOU, ADOLF!
THE SCHOOL HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
TEACHERS,
KEEP THEM AWAY FROM THAT FIRE!
TEACHERS, FALL IN!
GET THEM INTO THEIR LINES!
WHERE'S YOUR DISCIPLINE?
YOU'LL ALL BE PUNISHED.
THIS IS WAR, AND IT'S NOT A LAUGHING MATTER!
GET THEM INTO THEIR LINES! GET THEM--
SORRY.
OOH!
WHO THREW THAT AT THAT TEACHER?
WHO THREW THAT BOX?
STOP IT!
YOU'LL REGRET THIS!
GRANDPA!
GET OUT. STOP THAT!
HA HA HA!
IN ALL MY LIFE, NOTHING EVER QUITE MATCHED
THE PERFECT JOY OF THAT MOMENT.
MY SCHOOL LAY IN RUINS, AND THE RIVER BECKONED
WITH THE PROMISE OF STOLEN DAYS.
