Yes.

That one's worth about 10 more

than it was when we came in.

Forgive my ignorance,

B-B-B-Bagshot...

b-but what are y-y-y-you in?

Missiles and munitions, mainly.

Mmm.

How's the market holding up?

Well, we've been very badly

hit by this peace scare.

We fell four points yesterday.

Luckily, I managed to off-load...

a lot of obsolete rubbish...

on the freedom fighters.

Yet things still look rather dodgy.

S-S-S-Surely i-i-i-i-it's...

only a t-t-t-temporary...

s-s-s-s-setback.

That's very easy for you

to say, Lord Dowdy.

But it only takes two lunatics...

to sit down and sign

a piece of paper...

and we could be plunged into a

nuclear peace so devastating...

that my company, for one, would

be wiped out completely.

Where's that harp coming from?

It's probably Margaret

playing with Randolph...

in the music room.

They're very good

together, aren't they?

Yes, they certainly are.

I often wish I'd been forced to take up

an instrument myself when I was young.

I must say, I, uh, admire the way...

you allow her such freedom.

I think most husbands would

object to their wives...

being alone in a room

with a handsome...

virile young man.

Well, it is the 20th

century, after all, old boy.

Can't expect to possess

anyone body and soul.

Huh.

Wonder why the...

music stopped.

They've probably come to the

end of their first movement.

Your shot, Stanley.

Yes. Yes.

Um... Ah-ta-ta-ta.

Uh, l-l-I'll just pop

along and, uh, uh...

see if they need

anything before, uh...

they start their, um, next...

movement.

Oh.

Uh, hello, Randolph.

Have you seen anything

of my wife at all?

Not recently.

I thought she was with you.

Yes. Probably is. Probably is, yes.

Yes.

Probably... with...

Probably with me.

Oh. Um, where's Peter got to?

H-H-He said s-s-s...

s-s-something had

c-c-c-c... come up.

Come up?

Something come up? Yes.

Y-Y-Your sh-shot.

My shot. Yes. Yes, my shot.

Yes, you're certainly right there.

Gosh. My shot. Yes.

Oh, blast!

Gosh.

Seem to have broken me cue.

Um... won't use any of those.

Rubbishy old things.

I'll just... just go and

get my special one.

Um, Margaret'll know where

to lay her hands on it!

Margaret, my darling! My precious!

My sweet? My love? Margaret!

Seed!

Sir?

Oh. Uh, have you seen

Lady Margaret, Seed?

Her Ladyship is in

the bathroom, sir.

In the bathroom, Seed.

Jolly good.

Oh. Hello, Peter. Hello, darling.

Uh, s...

sorry to butt in like this, Peter...

but, um, uh...

about this Venezuelan business...

I thought we ought to get it, uh,

tied up one way or the other.

Um, uh...

do you want me to come

in with you on it...

or, um, do you...

do you wish to pull out...
