you shouldn't be proud of your house.
Stacey here, is proud of being
- aren't you, Stacey?
- I am, sir.
Well, Stacey,
I'm gonna put these lads in your charge.
- I want you to show them the ropes.
- Right, sir.
- Right, off you go, then.
- Go on, move!
Splendid news.
Ranley School is going to compete
with us on our Sports Day.
That's the first time in our history
that a public school
has joined forces with us. How's that, eh?
- That's good news, sir. Congratulations.
- Thanks.
Oh, but, it's the lads I'm thinking of.
This will really give them a great kick.
- Really put them on their mettle.
- Is Ranley competing in all events, sir?
Yes, but they've been good enough
to offer a special challenge cup
- for the cross-country run.
- I'd say that's our best chance, sir.
Well, I bet this Stacey ought to win
that challenge cup for us.
has anyone to beat him.
If they had,
he'd have to be a champion, sir.
Well, Mr. Brown,
I hope your first impression of us
won't be too critical.
I know that some of you young chaps
from training school think of us older men
as back-numbers.
- Oh, not at all.
- Oh, yes, you do.
It's not surprising,
after all those new-fangled theories
that you've been stuffed with.
But theories don't always work out
in practice, remember.
I'm greatly looking forward to doing
what I can to help these boys.
Though, of course,
I realize that a Borstal housemaster's job
- is not an easy one.
- Well, I suggest that you trail around
after me for a bit, just to get
the hang of things,
then we'll let you loose to do your worst.
I came, and broke and entered
and got detention-centered
- What lark got you here?
- Go on, tap off.
