Come and get it!
Here they come.
Here you are, look.
Give us the paper, George.
Don't forget to give it back,
'cause last time it went missing.
All right, keep your shirt on.
(Babble of conversation...)
- How's it going, Bill, all right?
- All right, yeah.
You like it here?
Not a bad place, is it?
(Babble of conversation continues)
- Er, Johnny.
- Yeah, what's up?
When you go to the local this afternoon,
I want you to take Barrett with you.
Show him the station's ground.
OK, Sub, that'll be all right.
Yeah, that'll be all right.
Walters, what's the matter
with the Sub this morning?
Looks a bit dodgy, don't he?
Och, it's the full moon.
Yeah.
Sub said I've gotta take you
round the ground, show you it all.
Yeah. Put your gas mask
underneath there.
That'll be all right.
You know, I used to drive one of these
before the war.
- Did you?
- Yeah.
What did you do before the war?
Why, I used to write.
Advertising and things like that.
Why, "that schoolgirl complexion" stuff,
I suppose?
Well, more like liver bile.
Liver bile! You wanna lay off
that stuff, old man, I'm telling yer.
You'll be all right at 14-Y Station
as long as you use your loaf.
( Mellifluous, flowing music)
There she is, Bill, high tide.
You know, it's a funny thing
when it comes to it,
- Where are we now?
- That's Trinidad Street down there, Bill,
just inside the station's ground.
And down here is Alderman's Wharf.
- This one?
- Yes.
We'll take a look at the boats
while we're down here.
They get some pretty big stuff in here
now and again, you know. Yeah.
( Orchestral strings gradually swell...)
( Sudden, dramatic pulse)
Ain't she a smasher, cock, eh?
We'll make it, yes, Bill?
All right, Sid.
Well, I think by, going on to 7:00 tonight,
8:
00 in the morning,it'll be away all right.
Take a look over here, Bill.
There's a sunk barge down there.
Holds about 10,000 gallons.
- Does it? As much as that!
- Yeah.
Pretty useful in a pinch, you know.
(Buzz of conversation)
Fire Brigade.
(Woman) Chief officer?
One moment, please...
Could I have your signature on those,
please, sir?
(Phone rings)
Hello, OC speaking.
All right.
That was Home Office Fire Control.
They'll be raiding tonight.
All right, give us that finishing rod.
Elsie! Cuppa tea, please.
You hold more tea
When you've done that,
what about a match?
Right-ho, Colonel, after this shot.
- All right.
- Wicked.
Well, Bill, this is the rec.
(Man) Bar's open, gents, please.
Got any fags, Elsie?
- What'll you have to drink?
- A wallop, please, Joe.
Two wallops, mate.
