Pardon, monsieur.

The bill.

Ah, yes, of course.

Oh, I say, I'm terribly sorry. I seem to have left my wallet at home.

I'll tell you the next time we come in, will that be all right?

Of course, monsieur.

But, monsieur, just in case we forget, I will write your name up on the wall

here. When I say, I say, some of my friends may come in.

They'll see it.

Of course they won't, monsieur.

Madame's coat will be over it.

There it is.

She'll lift a man up.

She'll let a man down.

She'll crown him her king and then she'll make him a clown.

In the morning she does.

In the evening she don't.

And just when you're certain she will, she bloody well won't.

Now like a fool I married Lola who played the piano but her cooking, sad to

was not so hot.

She used to often boast of how she made pot roast.

Most of the time it tasted like roast pot.

On my birthday, she said, hon, we're going to have first bourguignon.

I said, put in lots of lovely red wine, Lola.

She said, I don't have time to go and get red wine.

She cooked the whole damn lot in Pepsi Coke.

Eve and Adam.

Adam and Eve.

With the start of all this trouble. Well, that's what I believe.

But even so, ladies and gentlemen, a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

And we have searched the world to bring you the most beautiful girls in the

world who sing to you.

Girls of all nations, bringing beauty to you.

Girls of all nations, we bring happiness to you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure and privilege

to introduce all these... Beautiful girls, each and every one of them to

And first up, we have our little beauty queen.

Miss unwed mother of 1983.

Miss foam rubber of 1984.

Miss ball cock of 1985.

We all call her Bubbles.

She never has a handkerchief.

Tell me, what did your boyfriend call you, honey?

My boyfriend called me Dimple.

Dimples, isn't that sweet? I don't see any dimples. You're not my boyfriend.

Look at that.

Oh, God, like a pigeon on a hot pavement.

Next, ladies and gentlemen, all the way from Paris, France, Europe, we have the

Stéphane de la Pourrie. Oh,

God.

Oh, just look at her, ladies and gentlemen. She comes from France. She

with two pair of pants and a terrace all the way round. But unfortunately, she

does not speak one word of English, do you, honey?

Not a word.

What I tell you.

However, I will make the translations for all you good people here tonight.

Mademoiselle, je fais les translations, n 'est -ce pas?

The gentleman is our English rose. Very high class.

Doesn't say you who, says you whom.

Goes into a restaurant, orders a bacon butty with a side salad.

Likes me for my charm.

You as much charm as a temporary filling.

Well, honey, looks ain't everything.

In your case, they aren't anything.

She might not be intelligent, but by golly, she is stupid.

Dumb, this kid is so dumb, she thinks a trifle is a three -barreled rifle.

She thinks a coolie is a quickie in the snow.

Does a crossword puzzle, it says to egg on, she puts post.

Oh, God, I'd love to see her in 3D.

That's my room number.

Now, folks, we go south of the border to meet our beautiful little Latin

American incinerator.

Oh, boners, knockers.

Her brother is the famous South American streaker, Senior Willie.

And this beautiful little girl took me home with her to her hacienda, to her

castle last night. You took me home, didn't you, kid, eh?

Si. Si.

Took me in and locked the door, si.

Si, si.

Si, si, you see?

Tell the good ladies and gentlemen what you gave me.

And what's more, I had it twice.

Once with chips and once with a side salad.

Okay, kid.

Adios.

Amiga.

Reminds me, must get my watch fixed.

There they are, ladies and gentlemen, the most beautiful girls in the world.

But, as you probably know, this all started years ago at the time when Eve

Adam were around.

Now, some people blame the apple at the top of the tree.

Me, I blame the pear on the ground.

Now, Adam, he was fond of Eve. He longed to turn over a new leaf. And as Eve

smiled and tossed her pretty curls,

Adam raised his eyes to heaven and he sighed and said, Oh, Lord, I've got more

ribs than you've got any more girls.

Adam and Eve are the cause of all the trouble at least that might be.

The

I'm going to have to inject.

Darling, you see, I should have told you before, but I... You see, I wear a wig.

Oh, darling, darling.

and the right.

What?

What are you doing?

It's like singing, wasn't I? Like in the modern idiot.

Sort of like real cruel and that, you know. It's what they call rapping.

I want to rap on.

I want to wrap on. You want to wrap up?

Out of all these people.

Come on, do it properly, like what I showed you.

When I look into your eyes of blue, I want to weep, I want to weep, I

want to weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, weep, alone with you. You

me on so much when she sings.

I want to give her one, I want to give her one,

Wonderful thing.

Why do you keep doing that?

Doing what?

Well, one minute you're perfectly all right, and the next minute you sound

a dick, like a dick, like a dick, like a dick.

Come on, you do it. I like ladies stockings.

Nylon, silk, or cotton. Because no matter how long they are, the top is

near the bottom.

You're a perfecting winner.

Because the police, you start to breathe on them and you can't see what they're

doing. Funny old world, funny old world. Everybody says it's a funny old world.

Funny old world, funny old world. It's a funny, it's a funny, it's a funny old

world. Funny old world.

lawn all newly mown. He says, it shows what God can do with a little help from

you. I says, you should have seen it when he had it on his own.

One day he comes in the dog and duck, surveys the scene like he's Lord Mark.

Then he tries to impress our chubby barmaid, Myrtle.

He says,

I'll have you know, my friends, there is a destiny.

Our ends.

She says, well, I'm putting mine in an 18 -hour girdle.

He carried on just like he started.

He says, a fool and his money are soon parted. I says, well, how did they get

together in the first place?

He says, once more, I tell you this.

Ignorance is bliss.

I says, well, how come you've got such a miserable -looking face?

He says, each man to his trade, for we are not all made the same.

I says, no, but you'd find a lot of contented faces.

You see, the more that he got tricky, the more we took the mickey. He says,

here's a saying with which you must agree.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

I said, it can also make him father of a large family.

He said, it is better to have loved a short, fat girl than never to have loved

at all.

I says, yeah, guess this proverb, mate. There's this mother of eight sewing up

her old man's pyjama pants with twine.

I says, right, now what have you got? He says, waste not, want not.

And I says, no, a sitting time saves nine.

Well, all them sayings was a bore.

I mean, nowadays they can't stand up to inspection.

I mean, take, you can fool some of the people all of the time.

Some of the time.

I mean, either way, it'll keep you in power till the next election.

Of course, I agree with, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Because if you do, that may lead to sorrow.

Because you see, if you do it today and you like it, you can do it again

tomorrow.

And of course, do unto others and then run.

That's practice throughout the land.

Just move to your next floor. Why don't you answer the damn door?

Oh, pardon me.

Your wife?

Would I have a maid as ugly as that?

Come now, I think she's rather attractive.

me from next door.

Don't you dare.

Drew called me Henry. I'm Miriam, and this is Barney.

Would you like some coffee?

Hard time.

Well, would you like to take a load off your mind and sit down?

You may find that my wife and I will take a little bit of getting used to.

sort of unconventional.

What they're called bohemians.

Bohemians.

I've got little peccadilloes.

I find that very hard to believe, Henry.

I really do. I mean, none of us are perfect.

We're what you people call swingers. You know, two's company, three's the crowd,

and four's a lot more fun.

Yes, you're provided.

You were lucky to find us at home.

I overheard you talking.

That was just a little lover's tip.

Actually,

Barney wouldn't swap me for anything.

Oh, pity.

Hey, do you mean what I think you mean?

A change is as good as a rest.

I know, but quite honestly, you know, that is a situation into which I have

never entered into.

I don't even know that I could go along with anything like that.

It's got to be a first time for everything.

Oh, hi.

Let me introduce you to Lorraine. This is Miriam and Barney. Would you like

coffee?

Well,

who's going to be mother?

Well, not me, that's for sure.

Don't start that again.

I can't stay long. I'm off to Greenwich Village in a minute.

Sugar with or without?

Without. Shopping?

No such luck. Cream with or without?

Without. Now I'm off to model for a painter.

With or without?

Without.

You great idiot!

It's okay.

It'll all be coming off in a minute.

We seem to be getting along fine.

And, uh, we get along okay?

Yeah, yeah. You know, um, when you've been married to the same woman for a few

years, you, uh, begin to fancy a trade. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know.

Fancy something.

A little different.

What the hell are you getting at?

I mean, we could swap wives.

Oh, I see, yeah.

Only temporarily, of course. I mean, I know you wouldn't want to part with your

Miriam forever, now would you?

No.

I really fancy your Miriam.

I'd just love a romp in the hay with her.

Henry, I have to, but you... What do you say?

Well, I don't know.

It's wrong.

Who said it's wrong?

Well, my doctor, for a start. He said I shouldn't make love to anybody except my

wife. He said I wasn't to get excited.

I know.

Nonsense! Dear the world, of course.

Oh, just drying off.

Supposing she doesn't agree?

Oh, she will.

I know my wife.

Once I get your Miriam next door and try a little bit of the old charm...

Do your best for me. I think I'll go and find the little boy's room. But down

the corridor, Henry, you can't miss it. I'll try not to.

Say, they're a lovely pair, aren't they?

Oh, God, are they ever a lovely pair.

Oh, a lovely couple, yes, yes. He likes you.

I kind of like him. He said he's got some new contemptible furniture in the

apartment that you'd like. I'd like to go and have a look at.

Barney says you've got something to show me.

Come on next door and have a look.

Oh,

it doesn't waste much time, does it?

I'll tell you something else more, don't I?

Oh, I'm sure you'll like my mummy.

Your mummy?

Didn't daddy tell you?

That was your father?

Well, you know what?

White, isn't he?

Well,

must be all that good living.

That's enough.

Cut to the kitchen.

Okay.

And we cut it?

Come on, I'm starving!

The whole meal?

Sure, who needs that?

I do!

Cut to the street.

Come on, let's get him on his bike.

They're the people that ask him over for a drink. Oh, OK.

Carry on.

Yes, stop it there. Stop it there.

Does he have to join them?

Well, it's not essential to the plot, but it's quite funny.

I don't know. We've still got to lose three minutes.

What do you think?

Well, it's up to you, really.

Well, make up your mind!

Let's get him back on his bike and off.

Hey,

what's this? Where's he going?

This is the alternative, where he ends up with the Duchess. We haven't got time

for that. Hold it.

Get him back.

That better.

Get him off in the right direction.

Hold it. Hold it.

What happens next?

He bumps into the post and a paint pot falls on him. Is it funny?

Well, it's not bad.

I mean, is it really worth doing?

It might get a chuckle or two.

Oh, let's see. If you don't like it, we'll lose it.

Hold it.

I don't know about this. Take it back.

Why not let's have a look?

Okay.

No. Don't laugh.

Take it back.

But you've not seen it.

Okay, let's see it.

No, stop.

It's not really us. Take it back.

Oh, all right, if we don't see it, we'll never know.

Roll.

They're so very funny.

Go back and get him on his bike.

I don't remember shooting this.

Who shot this?

Did you shoot this?

No. I've never seen this before.

Hey. What's he up to?

Here. Stop it. I can't. The switch is jammed. Look. Try the main switch.

Well, where's that?

Over there, isn't it?

There, over there. You're the switch man.

Try that one.

Oh, is it?

Oh, here he is now.

What would Philip say?

Are you going to cut it? You bet your astrakhan coat I'm going to cut it.

just see what happens.

That's more than my job's worth. Well, it wouldn't take long. We don't have

time. It won't take long.

I'll come and please.

I'll come and please.

Oh, go on then. Roll in.

I had to have my big mouth.

You want to cut all that?

Take the fork down.

Ring it as it is.

Oh, poof.

I say you, my man, here.

Oh, look, isn't he great?

Tell me, how far is it to bath?

Looks like you can do the bath.

should be most happy to direct you, sir, to the beautiful city of Bath.

And I can tell you that it is exactly 69 and 78 miles from this very spot.

Seems to be the trouble. Well, you see, doctor...

It's me, sex drive.

How old are you?

Ninety -two.

And you're worried about your sex drive?

It's all in your head, isn't it?

People here, apart from us, don't get down and go for it.

Forward and back, forward and back, forward and back, forward and back,

forward and back, forward and back, forward and back.

Say, how do you do that?

Well, it's obvious, isn't it? I mean, my brain is a human brain bigger than that

of a fish.

And I just sort of concentrate and the thoughts go from my mind right the way

down my arm into the tag and the fish obeys my every command.

Simple.

Forward and back and forward and back.

Forward and back and forward and back.

When what you do is my buddy, buddy.

Otherwise, there's going to be blood on the carpet. Hey, no sweat. No problem.
