Ruggles of Red Gap Page #2

Oh, of course I shall.

- Your digestive tablets.

- Oh, yes.

You ought to take your two.

Yes, well...well, goodbye, Ruggles.

And look after yourself

and all that sort of thing.

- Yes, my lord. Thank you, my lord.

- Oh, don't thank me.

- I ought to thank you, really.

- No, my lord.

I am ready, sir.

Eh?

Oh, yes, yes, sure.

It's kind of sad, ain't it?

Well, so long, Earl. Keep your head up.

Goodbye, Floud.

Thank you.

Goodbye, my lord.

He has the worst taste

of any man I ever knew.

- To the cleaner, madame?

- To the cleaner?

I want the whole lot

taken out and burned.

- Burned, madame?

- Burned to ashes.

- And then burn the ashes.

- Oui, madame.

My husband is to have

an entirely new outfit.

Er...will you look at that?

He liked that so well,

he bought two of them.

Even the moths wouldn't eat those.

Come on, Bill, come on, come on.

Stir your stumps.

Hey, hey, hey!

Where you going with my clothes?

Well, maybe...maybe

she's gonna get 'em pressed.

Well, this is the place.

Here we go. Here...

Where are you? Where...

- Well, go ahead in.

- After you, sir.

- Well, go on, go on.

- Oh, no, sir.

Er...you're too darned polite.

Effie! Effie!

Come on in, Bill.

Make yourself at home. Effie!

Er...we got company.

Well, Ruggles, here you are.

Oh, I'm so delighted I got you.

I've had my eye on you

ever since I met His Lordship.

I do hope and trust you're going to like it

with us, both here and in Red Gap.

Red Gap, madam?

Er...yes, our home town, you know,

in the state of Washington.

It's a little, er...

bourgeoisie, I'm afraid,

but I think you'll find a few of us who

still really care about what's happening

in the, er... haut monde.

Ah, indubitably, madam.

Oh, what beautiful French you speak,

Ruggles.

- Effie!

- Yes?

Effie, what's that hired girl

gonna do with my clothes?

Never mind.

Now, Ruggles, the first thing

we have to do is take Mr Floud out

and get him a whole new outfit.

Now, what for?

Now, what's the matter with my clothes?

They're all right.

Bill said so, didn't you, Bill?

Er...Egbert.

I let him dress himself

according to his own taste today...

...and you see

what he looks like.

Do you think we can do

anything about him, Ruggles?

I dare say he could be

smartened up a bit, madam.

Well, I'll dare say more than that.

I can be pushed just so far and...

Egbert, you listen to me.

Look at his tie.

You see what I mean?

His appearance is so disgraceful, I...

I hate to take him any place.

Yeah, you ought to see

some of the places she...

Egbert, you'll do as you're told.

Come along.

Your hat, sir.

Now, you see what I meant about

the wildcat and rattlesnake, don't you?
