Whisky Galore! Page #3

With the greatest of difficulty

I managed to get hold of a ball

and presented it to the school.

Of course I was the referee.

I had to give a foul against the Garryboo team

It was more than a foul - it was a deliberate assault!

And what do you think happened?

Young William Maclennon, the captain of the team

Deliberately dribbled the ball to the touchline

and kicked it into the sea!

What on earth is all this nonsense?

It is a roadblock, doctor!

Open it up and let me through!

We can't do that doctor!

Waggett says you are a German tank!

Look here, Waggett, what are you playing at?

Playing? I'm not playing at anything!

Then what's all this?

It's a Home Guard exercise.

I should have thought that was obvious.

Well I've been up all night

delivering Mrs. MacKinnon of twins

and I want to get home

So I'll be obliged if you move all this junk

and let me through

Twins?

Yes, two girls it was.

What a poor soul! Two girls?

What a calamity!

And Jim safe away at sea!

Doctor MacLaren!

I am responsible for the defence of this island.

I think a man of your position should back me up

instead of taking an obstructive attitude

My obstructive attitude!

Did I build this idiotic roadblock?

Open the roadblock, Sergeant.

Right men,

Once again!

Move!

Come along, get a move on there.

Soldiers!

It's a pity you cannot be staying longer.

Do you think it's a pity?

We all think it's a pity.

Bit of luck getting sent here again.

I was getting pretty desperate

I didn't think I was going to see you until...

... after the war perhaps.

Proper turn out for the Book, eh?

I don't understand what you are saying.

It's a pity you haven't the Gaelic.

It's plain enough what I'm saying in any language

Will you marry me, Peggy?

What a thing to be asking anybody,

Sergeant Odd!

Couldn't you make it Fred?

People would be thinking me terribly ignorant

to be calling you Fred!

You're so old.

I'm only 16 years older than what you are.

Seventeen!

You've got it all worked out like a sum.

I suppose I ought to feel pleased

it was worth your while!

How many girls have you asked to marry you?

I've never asked any girl to marry me!

In fact I made a very particular point

of not asking them

Just made love to them.

Which you can't say I've done to you!

Will you marry me, Peggy?

- Och! 'Tis a foolishness!

- Anybody else?

Anybody else where?

Anybody else wants to marry you

If you want to be cheeky

you must be cheeky in the Gaelic

If I was to say it in Gaelic

you'd give me an answer?

Perhaps I would,

but you cannot be saying it, can you?

Learning the Gaelic just to take the eyes out of me!

It would be a shame to be so deceitful!
