All language subtitles for George and Mildred s05e07 I Gotta Horse

Oh, dear.

The price is at garage charges.

£17 .50 for a new what's -name.

Oh, well, that's inflation for you. The
price of what's -a -names have gone up.

Ah, the dude on me motorbike perished
and dropped off.

Yeah, hardly been used.

A warning to us all, George.

And they were sarcastic.

Said the headlamp needed a new gas
mantle.

Well, he can't deny it's old.

I mean, the speedometer has got Roman
numerals.

That bike's a classic. I've done a tonne
on that bike. So have most of the local

cats.

Look, why don't you trade it in for a
car?

Oh, yeah, what do you fancy?

A Rolls, a Mercedes?

Oh, look, George, there's a lovely
little second -hand mini here.

There's only 350 quid.

I mean, trade in your bike.

All we need to find is another 349.

It's a status symbol you want, isn't it?
Yeah.

I think a second -hand mini just about
sums up our status.

You've been restless ever since you
passed the driving test. Our seniors

in the bar, changing gear with a
lavatory brush.

But, George, what's the point of having
a driving licence if you never drive?

I mean, it's the same as having a
marriage licence if you never... Oh,

start that again.

Anyway, what do we want with a car?

Well, we could take my mother out for
little trips, in comfort.

She does not enjoy sitting on your
handlebars.

Are you trying to tell me that if we had
a car, we'd see more of your mother?

Oh, well, I mean... Yeah, well, that
settles it.

Anyway, you know she gets car sick.

Well, we could hang a little chain down
the back.

Oh, that's a good idea. She could hang
on to it and run behind.

Watch it.

Listen, if your mother wants a drive,
let your sister Ethel take her.

She's got more cars than her rental.

Consuelo, would you turn off the hi -fi
stereo on the way out?

Here we are, Mother.

After tea, we'll get in the Mini, drive
to the garages and go for a little spin

in the Jaguar, or perhaps the BMW.

Oh, that'd be lovely, Mildred.

Ethel, dear.

Yes. Is George having tea?

Well, he may be, but I'm married to
Humphrey. Now, do have a marzipan

Oh, I can't. I've left my eating teeth
at home.

Where is Humphrey?

He's in Schleswig -Holstein.

Oh.

I've never been to Devon myself.

Schleswig -Holstein, Europe, Mother.
He's at a meat trades conference in

Turoffel. Oh.

Nice. He's reading a... paper on the
roll of the sausage in the EEC.

Milk or lemon?

Both. Milk.

How are you getting on with your new
reading glasses?

Oh, they are lovely.

Do you know, I can see this as clearly
as if it was in front of my very eyes.

Country life, yes, we have it hand
delivered every week. Oh.

Look at this.

Commode. Went for £1 ,300 at South By.

Well, it is Regency, Mother.

Still, seems an awful lot of money just
to spend a penny.

Yes. And this one, China Ross.

Went for £10 ,000.

It's Ming, and there's only one other
like it in the whole world.

Yes.

That'll be the one your father had.

Probably.

Now, do have one of these little...
What?

I brought it back from the China Seas
just before the war.

Father did?

Yes. One at gambling. You remember, we
used to keep it on top of the wally.

Yes. Yes, I... But... Yes.

Are you sure it was exactly the same?

Well, I had to dust it every day, didn't
I?

Oh, we had a lovely set of plastic dust.
No, never mind the plastic.

What happened to the horse, Mother?

Oh, now, let me think now. When your
father passed out, we shared all

his... I think Ethel got it.

I'm Ethel.

Oh, yes.

Well, it must be Mildred, then.

Ten thousand pounds.

Someone ought to tell her. Yes.

Yes. Leave it to me. I'll do it, Mother.

Hmm.

Hello? Hello, Ethel. It's Mildred.

I'm sorry. I mean, it's Ethel.

Hello, love. I've got Mother visiting.

Oh, in her life.

Say hello.

She says hello.

Coo -ee!

She says... She says coo -ee.

Anyway, I'll be driving her back later
in the Jaguar XJ6, or possibly the BMW.

Or possibly both. Now, don't be bitter,
Mildred.

Anyway, I thought I'd pop in on the way
back.

Oh. Oh, well, yes, love, yeah.

Have a little chat about things?

Well, see you later, darling.

Hello, Tiger.

You're late home.

He had detention.

Yes, for something I didn't do.

Oh, that's not fair. What was it?

My homework.

Phil, you scored twice at football,
didn't you?

One of them doesn't count.

It was in our own golf.

Geoffrey, what's the price of land
around here?

Oh, about £30 ,000 an acre.

There must be five quids worth on this
shirt.

I'll run you a bath.

All right.

Daddy? Hmm? Can I ask your advice?

It's not about the birds or bees.

Ah. It's about white mice.

White mice?

A boy at school has got one, and he
wants to swap it for my marble.

Not a good idea. No. You see, your
mother is absolutely terrified of mice.

Terrified.

Well, she thinks that they'll run up her
leg and nibble her stocking tops.

Women. Exactly.

What do you want to borrow this from
those toffee -nosed twits for?

Because my sister is coming around.

Well, we've got nothing in the house but
instant. Well, there's no need for her

to know that. Now, when Ethel arrives,
what are you going to say to her?

Goodbye. What?

I'm going off to the pub. You are not.

I mean, at least stay for a minute,
George. I mean, you know, talk about

something like the weather, you know.
Oh, yeah.

Lovely day, isn't it, Ethel?

Oh, yes, George, I paid for it, you
know.

Lovely to see you.

Come on in.

Dear George.

Look who's here.

Lovely day, isn't it, Ethel?

Yes, it is.

Right, I'm off to the pub.

Well, I suppose that was quite chatty
for him.

Did you get my mother home all right?
Oh, you know what she is like in a car.

I was a little worried about possible
thicky -poos over the brass suede, but

made it. Oh, good.

Oh, how did you fill away?

Discussing the tripe mountain.

And the problems of breeding a metric
pig.

Oh, would you like a cup of coffee?

I've got a percolator. Oh, yes.

Finally amassed enough green shield
stamp, did we?

Or perhaps the saucer of milk.

No. No, nothing for me, thank you. No.

Why I really dropped in was to talk
about Daddy.

Daddy? Well, you mean... Our Daddy, yes.

Now, you may think I'm over -sentimental
about him.

Er, no. You called him a drunken old
fool.

That was before he died.

It was at his funeral.

I was just trying to hide my grief.

Well, anyway, I suddenly realised this
morning that I hadn't got a single thing

to remember him by.

Well, what sort of thing?

Oh, you know, a souvenir.

Oh. A lock of hair, a faded photograph,
a china horse.

Oh, well, I think I can help you there.

Oh, Mildred, I wasn't thinking that
you... No, it's all right, love. Just a

minute. I've got just the thing.

Here, look.

A photograph.

Oh, yeah.

Look, that's him. Outside the pub.

Doesn't look like him. No, well, he was
probably sober at the time.

No, no, I couldn't take it, Mildred.
It's far too precious.

Haven't you got anything else?

Well, uh... Do you remember that thing
that used to fit on top of the wireless?

What, a cat?

No. No, a china thing. A horse, I
believe. I think it passed into your

clutches. Well, a china... Oh, that!

Oh, yeah, it was just a little keepsake,
you know, along with the plastic dust.

No, never mind the plastic... The horse
would be nice. Do you think you still

have it? Oh, yes, love. It'll be in with
all our junk.

What, in here?

No, it'll be in the garage or the attic.

I'll get George to dig it out for you.

Oh, are you sure you wouldn't rather
have the photograph?

No. Thank you. Oh, well, when George
finds it, I'll give you a ring, all

I mean, are you going to be in tomorrow?

Tomorrow. Well, you're not in any hurry
for it, are you?

No.

No, I suppose not.

No.

Well, well, well. Where did you come
from?

You certainly like cheese.

Mum, he came up with my geography.

Oh.

You found him? Yes, he was in your
sports bag. Isn't he cute?

But Daddy said you were terrified of
mice.

Me? I used to keep them when I was your
age.

Then why...

Well, that's all the leaves done. Now
I've just got to do the lawn and... Ah!

It's all right, Geoffrey. Take it away.

Don't let her out of the cage.

It'll run up my leg.

He's really nervous over it. He must be.
He hasn't taken his wellies off since

he saw it.

You know, my sister Ethel, she's exactly
the same. She hates mice.

When I was George, it's spiders.

He always shouts down the plug hole
before he gets in the bath.

Oh, shit.

Hey, it's filthy in that garage.

Oh, you found it there?

Of course I did. It's the back of the
house.

Yeah.

Filthy and full of rubbish. I shall have
to have a bath.

I only had one a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Don't forget to shout down the plug
hole. Oh, you do that as well, do you?

Still in one piece.

That's nice.

Yeah. It's a sort of family heirloom.
Yeah.

Actually, I've seen a photograph of
something very like this recently.

Oh, yeah? In Country Life.

Oh. Very similar. Yeah? It was sold for
£10 ,000.

Oh. How much?

Oh, my goodness.

My goodness me.

Oh, my dear.

I'm not much cleaner now than when I
started.

I was whirling the soap on a rope round
me and it flew out through the window.

What? Yes, I was playing helicopters.

George, come and sit down a minute. Come
on.

I tried using some of that pink stuff of
yours. It took half the airs off me

legs.

George. Look at that photograph.

Now, is there anything in this room that
reminds you of that?

No.

Are you sure?

Lady Diana Fitzwilliams launches a ship.

The other page.

Oh, the horse.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, it's a bit like that one,
isn't it? Yeah.

Worth 10 ,000 quid. Oh, yeah.

Anyway, I'll finish using the shampoo.
What?

It's the same, isn't it?

Yeah, well, it looks like it, but... How
did they get into our garage to

photograph it?

It's a matching pair, George.

The only other one in the world,
according to that. Yeah, but, Mildred, I

know if you follow this, but, I mean,
this could be worth a lot of money.

Well, we could buy new soap on a rope.

We could buy a new... We could buy a new
car.

Hey, no wonder your sister wanted it.

Oh, yes.

A souvenir of father.

Oh, she is too faint.

Well, if you can't be, she wouldn't go
round with that one.

I knew there was money involved.

She had beads of sweat on her knees.

Hey, Mildred, this means I could afford
a new wash name for the motorbike. Yes.

I could afford a new motorbike. No,
George, don't let us count our

before they're hatched. Now, we are
going to check up on this, on the actual

value. We'll talk to an expert.

Excuse me.

Oh, I beg your pardon.

I was just trying to date a little
shepherd boy.

Oh, yes.

They have marks on their bottom, you
know.

Well, now, what can I do for you, young
lady?

Oh, I've come about a horse.

The betting shop is next door.

No, I want to know what this is worth.

A Tesco supermarket bag.

Well, perhaps in 50 years it might be...
No, no, no, not a bag.

This. Oh.

Ah, well, now.

The value depends on whether it is
genuine. The hallmark, so to speak. One

to understand the significance of the
symbols.

Those cryptic little marks have been so
much to the expert and so little to the

layman.

One...

1927.

What does that mean?

It means it was made in 1927.

Birmingham.

Oh.

Birmingham.

You mean it's not the same as this one?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

This is just a cheap copy.

They made thousands of them, you know,
in 19... 27.

Yes. In Birmingham.

Oh, you know a little about these
things.

Absolutely sure.

Well, let me put it this way.

It's worth about 30 shillings.

And you are the third person who has
been in this week.

30, Bob.

Hey, Mildred.

Mildred, something exciting's happened.

I've just been down to the Social
Security in the High Road.

Well, it's not very exciting so far.

No, no, no. On my way back, I passed
that antique shop on the corner.

Up next to the... You mean the one next
to the betting shop? Yeah, that's right.

Guess what you're putting in through the
window.

Hang on, I haven't finished yet.

And guess what?

There.

And you bought them? Well, of course I
did. The old fool only charged a fiver

each, and they're worth, what's it, oh,
£10 ,000.

George, why are they worth £10 ,000?

Well, because it's only one of them in
the whole wide world.

They're cheap copies, George, and we are
£15 short on the social security money.

Um, a bit more, actually.

What? Well, it is next to the betting
shop, and I thought, horse, horse. And

there was one in the 230, Stoke of
Fortune.

Well, it seemed an omen. So which horse
won?

Darth April.

That was the omen?

God, you fool.

Hello? Hello, Mildred, it's Ethel. Oh,
yes.

I was just passing one of our
telephones, and I thought I'd give you a

Oh.

Well, cheerio. Oh, I almost forgot.

Did you find that little memento of
Daddy's for me?

Yes, dear, they're on the... It's on the
table. Oh, really? Oh, I'll rush...

I'll pop over right away. Bye.

Wow. She's in a hurry.

What's she want it for?

Work it out, George.

Oh,

yes, she thinks it's worth... Yeah,
exactly.

Now... We'll get these three out of
sight before she arrives. Right.

I didn't think Daddy was frightened of
anything in the world.

Apart from you.

Oh, thank you.

Well, when you grow up, I thought you
learned not to be frightened.

No, you just learned not to show that
you're frightened.

He's not doing a very good job.

Tristram.

I'm sorry that the little chap's
escaped.

What? Must have picked the lock or
something.

No, no, he's in the roper's garden.

Never catch him now. Pity.

You mean he jumped over that high fence?

No, no, no. I was holding the cage over
the fence to show him the roper's garden

and the door fell open and he escaped.

He's gone back to the wild.

He certainly has, in their garden.

I'm sorry.

I don't mind.

It's just like Elf of the Lion in Born
Free.

Absolutely. That's the only way to think
of it.

She came back and brought all her cubs
with her.

Are you going to tell her what it's
worth to come clean with her?

Yeah, if she comes clean with me.

Oh, now, don't you say one word.

Oh, you can alarm me.

And that goes for you too, Moby, too.
Not a word.

I know it cuts down the light, but...
Oh, there, look.

What a beautiful object.

Oh, thank you, Ethel.

It's not worth anything, of course,
except perhaps sentimental value. I

I've got...

sentimental about it myself.

Oh, you mustn't, Mildred.

I'm getting quite attached to it, too.

A memento of your father and that. You
never even met him. Yes, I did. I tried

on his hand at our wedding.

Well, it's been lovely having this
little chat. I'll just take this away.

just a minute, Ethel. I don't think I
want you to have it. I mean, after all,

money can't buy memories.

Yes, that's very true. Very true. Ten
pounds.

Done.

George. Go and put the kettle on. I'll
go and put the kettle on.

I'm sorry, Ethel, but I'm very
sentimental about it. I see.

Fifty. Fifty? All right, then a hundred.

Dear me, were you that fond of father?

Who? Oh, yes, yes.

Oh, think of it, Mildred, a hundred
pounds.

Yes, it's a lot of money. Exactly, you
could live like I do for an hour or two.

I could put a deposit down on a nice
little second -hand car.

So? No.

£200. £15.

£215. £15.

Oh, no, I mean, I couldn't take any more
for my own sister.

Done. Right. Now, if you wouldn't mind
just signing this little receipt for me.

Make everything nice and legal. All
right, then.

You do know that it's worth this, don't
you? Yes, of course it is. Yeah, right.

Oh, lovely.

Yes. Well, I must rush.

I've got an appointment at Satherby's.

Oh, in Mildred?

Yes. Guess what ran in through the back
door just now? What?

A little white mouse.

It's broken.

Well, it wasn't worth anything.

It was.

There was only one other like it in the
whole world.

Oh, what? Do you mean...
