Quartet Page #3
I'm not like you, you see, Reggie,
you're an artist, I'm an artisan.
Where's my bag?
I can't find my bag. Where is it?
Oh. Thank you, Reggie.
And you're safe back from Karachi,
and I'm so glad.
Oh...
Why Karachi?
Well, her father was Indian army.
- Do you think she's getting
worse, Reg? - Yes.
# I'm born famous,
I'm sorta known
# If your son doesn't...
# If your...
# Son doesn't, I bet your... #
# I bet your daughter knows. #
Boom, boom, chh!
Reg, you might as well get
used to it, rap's here to stay.
Oh, I don't think it is.
That's what you said
about The Beatles.
- Well, it isn't music.
- They think it is.
- Who?
- The kids you're talking to.
# That's what we mean
# When we say that a thing
# Is welcome as flowers
that bloom in the spring
# Tra, la-la-la-la-la,
tra, la-la-la-la-la
# The flowers that
bloom in the spring
# Tra, la-la-la-la,
tra, la-la-la-la
# Tra, la-la-la, la-la. #
That's better. That was good.
Now this is a bloody
disaster! Really!
Come in, Cissy.
- Oh, what?
- Cissy.
- You're late.
- Sorry. I said I was sorry.
Sit down.
Frank White has just pulled out.
He doesn't feel up to the gala.
It's even in the local paper.
- He's not well.
- Darling, Frank White!
Oh, he's such a lovely man.
This is a disaster.
Because he's pulled out, ticket sales
The givers aren't giving.
If we can't make the gala
into the hottest ticket in town,
about our ears.
Oh! We could lose it!
We have to find a replacement
for Frank immediately.
Who was it who said,
'Old age is not for sissies'?
I always remember that, you know,
because it's my name... and 'sissies'.
Cissy, if you must speak,
please raise your hand.
Now, where was I?
'This is a disaster. '
Of course. Yes, it is a disaster.
Yes? What?
- She's raising her hand.
- What?
Bette Davis. Bette Davis. She said,
she said, 'Old age is not for sissies'.
- Silenzio!
- # Tra, la-la-la-la
- # Tra, la-la-la-la... #
- Silenzio!
Shut it! You will choose
a different song immediately.
I'll have no 'tra-la-la' at my gala!
None of it!
What about Reggie? La Donna e Mobile.
I just had a brilliant idea,
to ask Reggie if he'll sing
La Donna e Mobile.
Oh, yeah, what?
Reggie's a bit funny about
La Donna e Mobile.
Your job is to ask him.
Please put your hand/arm down.
- He won't do it.
- That was my idea.
Yes, it was.
Look.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my.
- Excuse me, love.
- Oh.
Here.
Most of our residents
are on the floor upstairs.
This is Sir Thomas Beecham.
He was one of Britain's
greatest conductors.
Yes. I know who he was.
He inherited a fortune.
