'Suggest you divert cortge.

'Repeat:
suggest you divert cortege

down new bypass.

'Acknowledge, please. '

Message received.

Roger and out.

Come on, shift.

Any doctor's papers

amongst all this rubbish?

Hey, what are writing

to Godfrey Winn for?

Shut up.

Oh, it's not him. It's his mother.

'Housewives' Choice"?

Hey!

"Dear sir, could you play

"Just a Song at Twilight" for me?

- "It is my favourite song".

- Do you bloody mind?

Sorry, love. Is that the Midland Hotel?

Reception, please.

"My husband used to sing it to me

when we were a little bit younger".

- I bet!

- Get it off him.

- Come on, Stamp.

- No, no. Listen to this bit.

"My son also writes songs,

"but there's not much chance for him

as he has not had the training.

"We are just ordinary folk".

Signed:
A Fisher, Mrs.

Come on.

Well, I'm not ordinary folk,

even if she is.

Hello, reception?

Could I speak to Mr. Boon, please?

Danny Boon.

Will you tell him it's Mr. Fisher?

- I've got that job.

- You haven't.

Scriptwriter. I start next week.

You jammy devil.

How much is he paying you?

We haven't discussed terms yet

but it's more than I'm getting here.

I'm sorry. Mr. Boon's not taking

any calls at the moment.

Oh, Mr. Boon?

Fisher this end.

Oh, very well, thank you.

How are you?

Oh, that's marvellous, yes.

I don't want

to bother you at the moment,

but I was wondering,

would three o'clock be a good time

for me to come and see you?

Oh, good.

Yes, I'll bring some of my material.

Er, the Nell Gwynn suite, is it?

Yes, I thought so.

Oh, that's marvellous.

Look forward to seeing you then.

Fine. Bye.

- And success!

- Good morning.

It's all right.

It's only me mother.

I brought the key.

I shall be out this afternoon.

What did you want

to come here for?

Could have got in the window.

You're not getting in

through no window.

How's your father, Billy?

Is he still in hospital?

Er, yes, yes.

He's quite comfortable, though.

What does the specialist say

about his leg?

It might have to come off

but they haven't seen the X-rays.

- There's still a good chance.

- Oh. How's your sister?

- Oh, fine, fine.

- What bloody sister?

"How's your sister?"

"Oh, she's very well".

"How's your husband?

Is he still on the buses?"

"Yes, he's still on the buses".

'April is the cruelest month.

A smile can make it better.

'It takes 60 muscles to frown,

but only 13 to smile: June.

'Kindness in another's troubles,

courage in your own: August.

'Think all you speak

but speak not all you think: December. '

'Speak all you think

but think not all you speak. '

'Speak all you speak

but speak not all you think!'

- Just a minute!

- Come on.

- Are you writing out your will?
