Oh... Cor...

No, no, no! Come back.

Turn it on at the nozzle.

Now, don't start larking about.

You're asking for it, ain't you?

- Where are you?

- Here!

Are you going to give in?

You'll get yourself soaked.

You'll get soaking wet.

- That lunatic!

Get out. Get out of here!

GET OUT!

You're fired!

Hey!

All correct. And now, Pitkin, get out.

Pitkin!

Mr Bollington, l'd like your permission

to have another go at joining the police.

- Not here.

Pitkin, if you were six feet tall, 20 stone,

and were world weightlifting champion,

You're not cut out to be a policeman.

You haven't got it here

and you haven't got it here.
