the sheets up over our heads.

How can you make battenburg?

No one can make battenburg.

Half of it's pink!

Jim, I know. I was

frightened, that's all.

You know nothing.

The angle...

Yeah.

Of the body means murder

is probably discounted.

There's forensic evidence,

fingerprints.

Nobody else touched the gun.

At the inquest, I shall

be arguing it's suicide.

You look disappointed.

No. Not at all.

Where is it?

Derby.

That's where he came from.

All right.

Lads need the space.

New fire hose

demonstration.

Not in here,

for Christs sake.

Not real fire hoses, idiot.

Slide show.

No problem, all right?

Stick your thumb

up your bum for a bit.

Do f***-all anyway.

Hey mike, look at this.

What is it?

Famous people without their

clothes on. Celebrity nudes.

Jesus, look at her.

Sergeant, what do you mean?

Celebrity nudes here, look.

It's Jackie Kennedy.

Jackie Kennedy.

All women?

Yup.

No men?

Hey, isn't that suppose

to be, um, Britt Ekland?

It's a bit of a bad likeness.

He must have been in the bushes.

No. Men'd be taking the joke

much too far, wouldn't it?

it's cilla black.

You don't need

to take flowers.

I can't explain it.

I just thought I would.

Jean, I'm sorry.

I was just settling your class.

We weren't expecting you.

I thought I'd feel

better if I came in.

I gave them some books

and told them to shut up.

Hmm. Good.

Well, uh... You must

come around to dinner.

Yes. I'd like to.

I-I mean, uh...

We must have you back.

We don't see enough of you.

Bye.

Right. Come on.

Heads out of the books.

Please everyone, that's not

how I teach, as you know.

Mr. Braithwaite said you weren't

going to be here today, miss.

You have a pleasant surprise.

Board please, Marjorie.

Please, miss, I forgot

to hand in my book.

Shut up. Sit down.

Open a window.

Uh, miss, you've still

got your fag in your mouth.

Good.

Right. Today...

We address ourselves

to the question,

Is Shakespeare worth reading

although it's only about kings?

Hello.

Sorry. I don't

mean to surprise you.

It's all right.

I should have rung.

I've come from the funeral.

I'm a friend of John Morgan's.

Come in.

I had a kind of inkling

he might do something silly.

I always thought

he was weird.

Were you at the same university?

He was post-graduate.

I'm just a first-year.

Had you...

Been going out with him?

No. I never

slept with him.

Went to

the cinema twice.

Seen that film

about the Indian.

Gandhi?

That's right.

Afterwards,

he couldn't stop talking.

He thought this

and he thought that.

The philosophy

of nonviolence and so on.

And I really didn't

think anything.

Except that, obviously,

the film was very long.

In that way,
