A Stitch in Time Page #4

- Can I have permission?

Of course you can.

Just ask for Nurse Haskell.

- Nurse Haskell.

- Promise you will.

Oh, yeah, I-I promise.

- What about your watch?

- Oh, yeah.

I'll, er...

I'll collect it next time.

All right. We'll take care of it for you.

I promise, Lady Brinkley, he will be

reprimanded in no uncertain manner.

Goodbye, Nurse.

- Here I am, Pitkin.

- Come on, Mr Grimsdale, hurry up!

Don't rush me, Pitkin,

there's plenty of time.

Have I forgotten anything?

Is my watch in the safe?

- Not in the safe itself...

- What have you done with my watch?

There was this little girl

in the children's ward - Lindy.

You haven't given my watch to a child?

Get it back at once!

- I can't, the governor's banned me.

- What?

But it's all right.

Nurse Haskell has fixed it.

Oh, has she? Where is the governor?

Hm. A few judicious words from me...

That's it! Then I'll be able to see Lindy.

Aye, and get my watch back.

He's in a nasty mood, Mr Grimsdale.

A donation will put that right.

Money talks, you know.

Now, look here, Sir Hector.

What is all this about?

You will not set foot in

this hospital again. Is that clear?

No! Nurse Haskell has said he can go

into the children's ward, so there!

Oh, she has, has she?

We'll see about that.

Mr Grimsdale, please,

you'll get her into trouble!

Children's ward, please.

Send Nurse Haskell into me at once.

The donation. Remember? Money talks.

Nurse Haskell,

how dare you give permission...

Nurse, please,

give me a chance to explain cos...

Nurse! Back to your ward, at once.

Outside. Don't take all day!

It's all your fault,

now we've both been banned.

- I'm sorry, Mr Grimsdale.

- Never mind.

We'll find another way in

and you can see that little girl, eh?

- Then you can have your watch back.

- Oh.

- That's it! St John's Ambulance...

- Brigade!

Psst! Pssst!

Come up the front!

So much for the theoretical

application of first aid. Any questions?

Please, sir? Sir?

- Yes?

- Erm...

When do we get our uniforms, sir?

- You can have mine.

- Thank you, sir.

Sit down!

You'll get your uniform when you've

passed your examination like the others.

Now, a practical demonstration

of first aid in action.

For this, we shall need

a volunteer patient.

Name?

Pitkin.

Stand over here, Pitkin, will you?

Now...

I want you to imagine that Pitkin here

has fallen off a very high roof.

He's broken both legs,

broken both arms,

fractured his pelvis

and he's fractured his skull.

And he's been kicked

in the face by a horse.

- With iron hooves on?

- If you like.

You lie down and simulate

the injuries I've described.

Oh! Ah! Oh, me broken legs!

Simulate on the table, not on the floor,
