Good, we are in luck!

- What's wrong?

- Wait for it.

- What's happening?

- You'll see.

That's the loudest bell

in the south of England!

My!

For a British tar

is a soaring soul

For a British tar

is a soaring soul

As free as a mountain bird

His energetic fist

should be ready to resist

A dictatorial word

His eyes should flash

with an inborn fire

His brow with scorn be wrung

He never should bow down

to a domineering frown

Or the tang of a tyrant tongue

His nose should pant

and his lips should curl

His cheeks should flame

and his brow should furl

His bosom should heave

and his heart should glow

And his fist be ever ready

for a knock-down blow

His foot should stamp

and his throat should growl

His hair should twirl

and his face should scowl

His eyes should flash

and his breast protrude

And this should be

his customary attitude

His eyes should flash

His breast protrude

His eyes

His customary attitude

His eyes should flash

His breast protrude

His eyes should flash

His eyes

Yes, his eyes,

his eyes should flash

His foot should stamp

and his throat

His throat should growl

His hair should twirl

and his face

His face should scowl

And this should be

his customary

Attitude

Bravo!

God save our gracious Queen

Long live our noble Queen

God save our Queen

Send her victorious

Happy and glorious

Long to reign over us

God save our Queen

Who's that?

That's the headmaster.

We can go now.

We used to do Gilbert

and Sullivan in our school.

Only the girls played

the boys' parts.

I can't get over Matt...

he's so pretty.

Well, don't tell him that,

for heaven's sake.

- All right.

- I'm never sure with you.

- Did you enjoy it, Mr. Donne?

- Yes, thank you very much.

You directed the play,

didn't you? We loved it.

This is Mr. Reynolds,

Miss Bowman.

How do you do?

I'm afraid we're not

exactly in your class.

I'd say much more professional

and more spirited, too.

That's very kind of you.

The boys do try.

There he is. Could l...

Excuse me.

- Say, you were terrific.

- Was it all right?

- It really was.

- Did you like it?

Yes, really.

What do you think of Buttercup?

He was ace, wasn't he?

I think everybody was ace.

Would you like to meet

some of them?

I'd love to.

This is Miss Bowman.

This is Bobbie Evans.

Hello. Josephine,

you look stunning.

You were marvelous.

And this is Ralph Rackstraw...

the finest topman

in all the fleet.

Hello. Glad to see you.

Lovely performance.

Thank you very much.

The Right Honorable

Sir Joseph Porter, K.C.B.

First Lord of the Admiralty.

The monarch of the sea.

And these are all his sisters

and his cousins and his aunts.

I think you were all
