Whisky Galore! Page #5

- The island of Todday.

- Where's that?

Och well, they're ignorant right enough.

What is your ship?

SS Cabinet Minister

She's a total wreck!

Can you take us into harbour?

I'll show you the way!

What was your cargo?

50,000 cases of whisky.

50,000 cases of...

They've all come ashore, the whole crew.

They want to get to the Mainland tonight!

Tonight? They can't be sailing tonight.

But captain

we can't go out while they are still here!

Can't you see that captain?

Aye but there's still some fog outside

Donald, we've known each other for many years.

Aye, we have that.

Will you not take them away?

If you fail us now you'll not have

a friend in the whole of Todday

- The ship might sink!

- With all that whisky!

Tell them to go aboard.

I will sail in half an hour

Good man, Donald.

Twelve o'clock already.

She may have gone down by now!

Twelve o clock!

Aye. What of it?

It's the morning of the sabbath

The sabbath!

What's the matter?

It is the sabbath.

We could not be breaking the sabbath.

Well stone the crows!

50,000 cases of whisky.

Ah well... we better be getting to the church.

- Extraordinary, my dear! Quite extraordinary!

- what is it dear?

It appears the crew has abandoned the ship.

The coastguard says the salvage people won't touch her.

Why?

Too risky if you please!

Meanwhile she's lying out there unguarded.

Should it be guarded dear?

She has a very valuable cargo onboard

Several thousand cases of whisky.

Anything might happen - you can't trust these people.

It's Sunday Paul.

No-one in Todday would break the sabbath

Yes darling, but the sabbath ends at midnight.

No darling, there's only one thing for it.

The Home Guard must accept the responsibility.

Hello? Hello!

Those Macroon girls are impossible.

- Paul

- Darling, I'm trying to telephone.

If the salvage people won't touch it,

would it be so terrible if the people here did

get a few bottles?

I mean, if it's all going down

to the bottom of the sea...

That's a very dangerous line of argument!

Once people take the law into their own hands

it's anarchy! Anarchy!

Who is that?

Is that you Mrs Campbell? May I speak to George?

Oh! It's you, Mr Waggett!

No, you cannot speak to George!

The telephone was not given to Man

for him to mock the sabbath with it.

But mother, it might have been something important!

Then it can keep 'til the morning!

I do not approve of the use of that instrument

on this day.

Oh but mother we must move with the times.

Satan has made you very glib, my son.

What times will there be to move with in Eternity?

Now you are being ridiculous.

Don't you ridiculous me!

Go to your room, George Campbell.
