and go do good somewhere else.

I've never been...

Spoken to that way before?

Maybe it's about time.

Good afternoon, madam.

Mind the cable!

Officious, interfering...

If women want to drive motor cars,

they should learn to operate one.

I suppose it wouldn't occur to you

to offer to help me.

Get in the car, please.

For a mechanically-minded man...

- Try switching it on!

- Oh.

Hmph!

Open the throttle.

And keep it open.

Women!

Confounded woman.

Who does she think she is?

Coming in here and telling me

how to raise my children.

Do I need somebody to tell me

how to raise my children?

Of course not.

- Where's my cardigan?

- Under your jacket.

Under... Yes.

Self-righteous busybody.

- She won't be bothering us again.

- But I liked her.

So did I. She was very pretty.

She certainly was.

Do you think your father's a crackpot?

Your cardigan's inside out.

Do you think I'm wasting

my time on silly inventions?

But they're wonderful.

- Nobody else could think of them.

- That's right.

Nobody else could think of them.

After all, what makes the battle

worth the fighting?

What makes the mountain

worth the climb?

What makes the questions

worth the asking?

The reason worth the rhyme?

## To me the answer's clear

## It's having someone near

## Someone dear

## Someone to care for,

to be there for

## I have you two

## Someone to do for,

muddle through for

## I have you two

## Someone to share

joy or despair with

## Whichever betides you

## Life becomes a chore

## Unless you're living for

## Someone to tend to,

be a friend to

## I have you two

## Someone to strive for,

do or die for

## I have you two

## Could be we three

get along so famously

## Cos you two have me

## And I have you two, too

Hurray!

Atchoo!

## Someone to care for,

to be there for

## I have you two

## Someone to do for,

muddle through for

## I have you two

## Someone to smile

once in a while with

## Whenever you're lonesome

## I've a happy lot

## Considering what I've got

## But I couldn't do more

than you do for your poor father

Daddy!

## Things go asunder

and I wonder why you bother

## Could be we three

get along so famously cos

## We two have you

## And I have you two... too

Jeremy.

Oh, good!

Do I smell food?

Bring the bread, will you, Grandpa?

- And the pepper and salt, please.

- Right away, sir.

Oh! Sausage and egg, my favourite.

How was India?

I got up this morning

and I shot an elephant in my pyjamas.

"How he got into my pyjamas

I shall never know."

You've heard it before.

- I wonder how that happened.

- Daddy, could we ask you something?

- It's about Mr Coggins.

- The junkman wanted to take it away.

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
