Oh, one minute.

Hello! Yes!

- Norman, where's my tea? - Wait a minute! No, not you, Matron.

- Oh, shut up! - What?!

No, not you, Matron. I'm coming up straightaway.

Oh, shut up! All of you.

One, two, three, four...

OH!

"Norman! Norman!"

Making tea?

- Well, I wouldn't mind if it was the first time. - I got the foot caught.

- This morning when I was... - Hurry up with the matron's tea. It's getting cold.

- Matron! - Yes.

- Your tea! - Leave it there, thank you!

All right.

- Good morning, Norman! - Morning, Mary!

- Got anything for me? - Cup of tea in the pot.

Norman, Mary, look at the time!

Here! Peter, Chris! Oh, come on.

- Norman! - Coming, Jimmy!

- Yes. - Norman, my auntie's coming today. - That's right, Jimmy. Today is the day.

- Your auntie's coming to take you out, isn't she? - Yes.

So that's school this morning and then this afternoon, no school.

Now you get dressed. Here's your trousers.

- Norman! - All right then.

Oh, come on, kids. Hurry up! Get fell in.

That's it. Two deep. Quick march!

Oh, one minute. I've got to post a letter.

Come on! Oh, one minute! Now wait there! Don't move!

- Come on, Jimmy! - Smashing. I wouldn't mind having that.

I'll bet you wouldn't.

- Get those children off the road.

This is a public crossing, Mr Bigley.

- Why, you... - Now, take it easy, Dad!

Hurry up. Get fell in. Two deep.

Hurry up. Swing your arms. That's it. Come on. Two deep.

- Norman! - Halt!

Well!

Give these to matron with my compliments!

- Oh, ho-ho! Yes, Mr bigley.

Quick march!

- Morning, Miss Gibson. - Hello.

- Can Jimmy have the afternoon tea cos his aunt's coming to take him out? - Yes, of course.

Are these for me? Why, Norman, how sweet of you!

Iris! Iris!

I've just asked him to make it 7:30 instead of 7:00? The old man's busy. All right?

- Norman brought me these. - Ho-ho! Did he?

- Aren't they wonderful? - Wonderful! Are you coming my way, Norman?

- No, thanks. I just want to see the children in. - All right. See you later.

- I think you'll prefer it. - Yeah, that seems to be all right.

I know. I let you down on the other site but how was I to know the council would step in?

- How do you know they won't step in now? - I can guarantee that.

And you couldn't get better site for your factory near the railway and a few minutes from the main road.

- But will they let you close an orphanage? - Yes, what about the children? I' m not going to do...

Never fear, Mr Carter. They will be taken care of.

As chairman of the orphanage committee I know my duty to the children.

They will boarded out in private homes. That's what all they need and

that's the modern way and I will see to it personally.

- Oh, excuse me. - You know my son, don't you?

How do you do?

As long as the children are probably looked after I will consider the place. It seems to meet our requirements.

Anyway I'd like to look over it when the children are away.

Leave that to me.

- I'll ring you about that later today. - Good, I'll be in all the afternoon.

- Good morning! - Morning!

- Dad, it's not the Greenwood Home you're offering, is it? - Why not? It's a perfect site?

- But, Dad, the children. They're so happy there! - They'll be just as happy in private homes.

- But Dad... - No, I have no time to talk to you now, Alec.

- Now, you wait here and your aunt will come in a minute. - Yes, Mary. - Have a lovely time.

Yes, that's it, Jimmy. You enjoy yourself!

Marry, I've gota get some old clothes from Lady Wilson's. I'll be back at about four. Till that.

Excuse me, could you oblige me three pennies, please? Thank you very much.

Can I have some coppers, please?

Can I have... Can I have some coppers, please?

Oh, Topham 245. Topham 245.

- 245. Got a pencil? - Yes, thanks.

- Would you like a pencil? - Thank you.

Is Mabel on duty, please? Oh, this is Mabel. This is Norman from the orphanage.

I haven't got any money. Look, I've gotta find lady Wilson.

I'm calling for some old clothes for the orphanage and she doesn't know when I'm calling

so you'll put me through now I'll pay on Friday.

Oh, good. Yes, it's a ...

It's Chillling 47... No, Largswood 8...

Oh, Hamstam... Wait a minute! There's one down here.

No, it's not that one either. Oh!

Oh!

But it's all smothered with them. Have you got a pin?

Oh, I've got it. Topham 245. That's the one.

What on Earth?! Put me down at once!

There's a liberty! No, get out of here! Get out of here at once!

- I was in here first! - Will you give me that telephone?!

- I tell you. - I'm not gonna give it to you.

Let me go! Hey!

Now what's the matter?

Oh, come on. Get out of here!

You big bully.

Hey, what're doing? What...

Give me that telephone.

Give me that!

I'm sorry. The line is out of order.

I'm not surprised.

Hello, Jimmy! My goodness! You soon got home.

I bet you had a smashing time, didn't you?

What's the matter?

Didn't your auntie come then?

Oh, never mind, Jimmy.

At least somebody did write to you.

I've never had a postcard in all my life.

Jimmy, I'll tell you what.

You come over here and I'll tell you how I was found in a basket on Crewe station.

Here, let's go into the kitchen and see what there is to eat, eh!

See what we can find, eh.

Here's a jelly. I'll get a spoon, eh.

Don't you want any then?

Have an orange, eh!

I'll tell you what.

Let's make a man.

And he will stand up on his own.

Here, what are you up to?

I thought you're going out with your auntie.

"She hasn't come" (whispers)

Here, love. Have a special Sunday biscuit.

Here you are.

Oh, don't cry, Jimmy. Your aunt'll come some other day.

Now be big boy and stop crying, eh.

I'll tell you what. You can take first pick of any toy before others come back from school.

Look, Jimmy. If you 'll stop crying and give us a nice smile

I'll buy you a new toy. All for yourself.

Anything you want.

There. It's a promise.

Now, what do you want?

- Promise? - Yes, I promise.

Cross your heart.

- What's it gonna be? - The motor car.

- Which motor car? - The motor car in the shop window on the way to school.

That one?

Yes, Norman.

Now, you run upstairs and take a pick before others come back, eh.

Thank you, Norman, for the motor car.

- Now, you've done it. - What's up with you?

Well, making promises you can't keep.

- But Jimmy knows... - Jimmy knows nothing of the sort and you should never make a promise

especially to a child if you don't attend to keep it.

Children never forget.

And now would you mind getting on with some work?

All right! All right!

Oh, cook, I want to have a word with you about the children.

Norman, I'm not angry with you. I want to know what you did with Mr Bigley's flowers.

Oh, please, speak clearly. I can't get a word you're saying.

Go on, love, start again.

Oh, do speak up, Norman!

- You don't need to shout at him. - I'm not shouting at him.

Oh, shut up, fatty!

You undersized little beast.

Oh, love. Come on, blow!

- Don't cry. - I'm not crying.

- You what? - I've been peeling the onions and me eyes water when I ...

Oh, dear! Oh, dear!

...stratosphere. There's nothing wonderful about flying saucers.

Once this hits the interstellar space of the stratosphere

and low gravity ceases to operate then you've had it.

- Come on, children, bedtime. - Yes, come on.

Bedtime.

- I won't go to bed till Norman sings to us. - Nor will I! Nor will I! Nor will I!

What do you want me to sing then?

The step song, Norman.

All right!

Off to bed.

Come on, now.

What are you doing in there, eh?

Come on, off you go to bed.

This will do the trick.

- Ready? - Yeah, I'm ready.

- Shut the door, Norman. - What for?

You'll see.

Crikey, Norman's fainted! Somebody get some water, quick!

- Hurry! Quick! - Yes, hurry!

Look! Look at the mess you made.

Come on, get undressed! In the bed, come on.

- And he promised and he crossed his heart. - Don't be soft, Jimmy! It costs 12 pounds.

And 12 pounds is 240 shillings. And 240 shillings is 2880 pence.

Norman!

- Here you are, Norman. - What's this?

A postcard because you never had one.

Oh, thank you, Jimmy. Oh, yeah, that's nice.

That's the first one I've ever had.

Thank you very much.

Prayers, everybody!

God bless Norman and make him keep his promise. Amen.

...one, thirty two, thirty three, thirty four, thirty five,

thirty six, thirty seven... Why, who's there?

- It's me. Can I have an advance on my salary? - Can't hear a word you're saying.

- Can I have an advance on my salary, please? - What? ... forty eight, forty nine, fifty ............

- No, do you know you're fifteen weeks in advance already? ....fifteen... - Only ten, Matron.

- Fifteen! - No, it's oly ten, Matron. - Fetch me the book and I'll show you.

- Here you are, Matron. It isn't fifteen. - But it isn't ten. What is it?

- Fourteen. - You don't get another penny.

- But I must have 12 pounds. - You're crazy.

- Norman, you're not in trouble, aren't you? - What sort of trouble?

Are you courting, Norman?

Not yet.

- Oh, well, what is it? - I promised to buy Jimmy a toy.

- Why do you want 12 poumds? - Cos that's what it costs.

You're mad, Norman. Promising a child a toy that costs 12 pounds.

Even if you weren't in arrears, I wouldn't advance it. When will you grow up?

- I promised. - You have to unpromise.

Now, go away, Norman. I agreed to fulfil Mr Bigley's promise to set all the children to Bighton for the day.

- Brighton? - Yes.

- I've never seen the sea. - Oh, go away.

Don't take them all.

It doesn't fit.

Yes, get this into your head - for an orphan, anything fits.

- This lo came in last night. - Let's see what we can find.

Here's just the job for you, Tuppeny.

- Nearly fits. - No, it doesn't, you've been eating too much.

And it goe right over your head, doesn't it? So that won't do.

I've got a robe, you've got a robe.... (singing)

Hello, Miss Gibson. We just...er We're all going to Heaven.. er, Brighton.

We're nearly ready, Miss Gibson.

Now, children, mind you're all a great credit to the home.

And do everything that Miss GIbson and Cook and Mary tell you.

- All ready, then? - Yes, Matron.

Good, and as soon as you've seen them off the premises, Norman, I want you to hurry back here.

I've got some people coming to see the home and I want it cleaned up.

- Oh, I'm not going then? - No, Norman.

I've never seen the sea in all my life, Matron.

I can't help that.

Norman would be a great help, Matron.

I dare say, Miss gibson but I want him here.

Please, children, hurry along, come along.

Goodbuy, Norman. I am so sorry you're not coming with us.

Me too! (all)

Don't you worry about me. I should be all right.

I'll find something to do. There's a lot of things. I'll, I'll...

You go and enjoy yourself. Go on. Have a nice time.

Bye, Norman.

Bring me back a stick of rock.

What is it? What's happened?

Please, Matron, if Norman can't go we don't want to go either.

But that's absurd.

Children.

Very well, Norman! Go along and see the sea!

Come on, then.

No, thank you.

Oh, Norman.

Will you let me sit there, Martin, so I can be opposite Miss Gibson?

- No, Norman, I want to look out of the window. - Oh...

I bet you've travelled all over the place, ain't ya?

We're going down to Brighton ourselves.

You been about much?

I expect we should do a bit of paddling and that.

We ain't going back till tonight.

Here, what about a sing-song?

Manners.

Here, want a drop?

- No, thank you. - Go on!

Here, I've got a lot of sweets here.

Go on, get stuck in, go on.

Here you are, catch!

All gone!

All gone!

- It didn't go. It's shut. You shut it. - Of course I did, you silly little man.

We're gonna have some laughs on this trip. I can see that.

One big happy family. I'm glad I got in here.

I bet if I had gone in one of the other carriages, I would've got freezed out.

Here, look at this! Now, watch this!

This wasp ... is landing.

Ere, there. There's a liberty.

There's a liberty.

Right on my jam.

Now, get out of it.

I'll put this away.

Here...where's me bottle stopper?

You're having a lark.

You little devil.

Right, come on. Who's got my bottle stopper.

Come on. Get out of here. I've got to find me bottle stopper.

Go on, sit over there! That's it.

On his lap. Here.

Come to a tunnel in a minute.

Go on, get over there.

Hold this!

- Oh, I've been a fool, aint't I? - Yes (all).

Come on. We're alright now.

I'll tell you what. Here, now listen, let's all drop off.

Go on, have a kip.

Oh, God, me leg!

Cook! Cook!

- What's up? - I've got a wasp...

Where?

Well, go to the ...

Where's he gone?

Hey! Hey, my trousers!

Hey, you've got my trousers.

Norman! Norman!

Cook! I've lost me trousers.

You've what?

You've what?

I've lost my trousers.

A soon as we get to Brighton see if you can borrow a pair for me, will you?

Where from?

Well, I don't know. I must have some. I must!

- But I keep telling you he's lost his trousers. - But what do you want me to do about it?

- Borrow some! - Borrow some?!

Hey! No, don't blow it yet.

Now, wait a minute. I ain't seen the sea.

- Well, hurry up! - Don't get excited.

Norman!

Oh, look, she's getting my trousers now.

Oh, now.

- What do you think I can do? - Don't be so cheeky!

- These any good? - Well, they would have been. Blooming thing.

Oh, no, don't! Don't go!

All tickets! All tickets!

- Oi! Where's your ticket? - Where's your trousers?

Ere, stop that man!

Go on, scarper!

This is the way to Brighton, innit?

You pulling my leg.

- This is the way to the sea? - Keep straight on, you'll walk right into it.

Good.

- I gotta get to the kids. - Yours down there too?

- Oh, yeah. - How many?

Twenty two.

Thanks, mate!

Oh, there's a liberty!

- What could've happened to Norman? - I bet he's sitting taking it easy somewhere!

Where's your number?

- What number? - You'll be disqualified if you haven't got a number.

What's this lot?

I think I'll ring the station. They may have news of Norman.

Here thay come.

Here comes the first.

Looks like a record too. Not bad.

Do you see what I see?

- Where's Miss Gibson? - She's over there.

- Congratulations! - Hello, Miss Gibson! I'm here. I walked all the way. Where's the sea?

- Over there. - Is it? Where?

Oh, it's no use. I don't see it but I'll see it later.

- Well done, sir! And in record time! - Me?

I wanna see the sea. I've never seen the sea in all me life. I wanna see the sea.

- Where to, lady? - To the station.

Hey, where're you going? No, get out of it. I wanna see the sea.

I wanna see the sea.

I wanna see the sea.

I've never seen the sea.

- Wel, I think that you ought to give it back by rights. - No! I won it.

Under false pretences though. You weren't even entered for the race.

- Worth a bit of money, I'd say. - Is it?

Yes. And you could get into a lot of trouble if they found out. Tha's solid silver, that is.

Here. What do you reckon it's worth?

- Oh, fifteen to twenty ponds. - Fifteen to twenty...

- Here, Norman, what are you going to do? - I'm gonna have me name put on it.

What can I do for you?

- I wanna sell it. Fifteen to twenty pounds. - I name the price.

Let's see it.

Yes, very nice. "London to Brighton Walk. First place"

Astonishing. Where did you get this?

Brighton. I won it.

Just a moment!

Hello, is that the police station?

Well, a young man has just brought a cup in.

A London to Brighton walking race cup.

Has any theft been reported?

No, nothing reported.

Thank you. That's all I wanted to know.

Yes, I can let you have something...

- Why are you doing that? - I'm looking for a job.

A job?!...But you've got a job.

No, I mean one that I get paid for. Here's one, listen:

"Advertising executive wanted by London firm.

Must be of smart appearance and go ahead. Night work only".

Oh, no, don't be silly!

You can't go work yourself to death here all day and then work nights.

I must. I've gotta get the money. I promised.

Anyway, you imagine me - a London advertising executive.

Candyfloss! Get your candyfloss!

Candyfloss!

Ha-ha, I bet they don't half have good time there, right.

Candyfloss! Get your candyfloss!

Candyfloss! Get your candyfloss!

- Eight fifteen. Did you phone the airport? - Yes, he arrived an hour ago.

- Probably got lost. Can't speak a word of English. - Oh, these mad musicians!

- Go outside and see if you can see him. - Right.

Here you are, Maestro.

Everyone's waiting. Come with me and I'll take you to the stage.

Now calm down, Maestro. Don't be nervous.

Go on. Please, Maestro.

Go on, calm yourself. Go on.

(Audience laughing)

Yeah, let's swing it!

Quick! Head him off.

(Orchestra plays Rossini: William Tell Overture)

(Stage revolving, audience laughing)

May we look at the toy shop? Please, oh, please.

All right, then. Go on.

The car is smashing, isn't it, Martin? - Yes, it is.

That's Jimmy's car, I don't think.

- Won't get that in a month of Sundays.

- Norman wouldn't buy you that.

Come on, kids.

- Lost something, Norman? - Hello, Miss Gibson.

- Has he gone yet? - Has who gone?

The policeman.

- Yes, why? - Well, I'm a wanted man.

Why, Norman? What have you done?

Nothing. I only wanted to sell the cup I won, that's all.

- Why? - I want the money to buy Jimmy a car.

Look, I must see you.

Oh, of course.

- Ere, 4.30 this afternoon at the cinema cafe.

All right, Miss Gibson.

Buy, Miss Gibson.

Fall in. Quick march.

Norman, this way!

Hurry up!

- Have you had your tea? - No, sir.

Well, you'll get along now and I'll stand by until the other girl gets back.

Thank you, sir.

Good afternoon.

(yelling) Look behind you!

Always late, aren't they? Still, woman's privilege.

If you have a look through the crack in the door you can see the picture for nothing.

I say: "If you have a look..."

(shouting) If you have a look...

I thought you couldn't hear.

If you have a look through the crack in the door there you can see the picture.

Go on, don't worry. I'll keep watch.

Go on, have a look.

Go on, have a look while you've got a window.

Go on, mind your head on the handle. That's it.

Come on, it's my turn. Let's have a look.

And you keep watching now for me.

You can't see through there. It's filthy.

Ah, watch for me outside.We'll both get copped.

Hey, they're tying him up.

Mine's here. It's all yours.

- Hello, Norman. - Hello, Miss Gibson.

- You look very nice. - Thank you.

- I want to explain about last night. - Oh, don't trouble to.

It was the best concert we've ever been to.

Yes.

- Now, what are you gonna have? - Nothing, thank you, Norman.

- Just to please you I'll have some tea. - Tea.

- And some cream cakes.

Some cream cakes.

And a Chocolate sundae.

Chocolate sundae.

Yes..and you, sir?

Oh, nothing for me, thank you. I'll just watch.

I had to see you, Norman. They're going to close the orphanage.

They can't do that.

What's gonna hapen to the children?

Well, they're going to board the children out.

You shouldn't have stayed on, Norman!

You could get lots of jobs.

I couldn't leave the children. They might miss me.

- You must think of yourself too, you know. - I do.

I couldn't be happier.

- It's all right being happy but you must have an ambition. - But I am ambitious.

See, what I want is an orphanage of me own

so that every orphan could be happy every day.

I know there's much of a job not much money in it.

It's a lovely ambition, Norman.

Of course it is, innit?

Now, if I had an orphanage of me own that would be all right but...

Orphans have to have Matrons, don't they?

Of course they do.

I couldn't manage it by myself, could I?

I'm sure you'll find somebody really nice to help you, Norman.

I don't want somebody really nice.

Oh, I do but not...well... I know who I want.

- So if I had an orphan... - Look at the time, Norman! I must fly.

I 've got a lot to do before I meet Alec.

Oh!

He's promised to take me to the fair tonight.

- Oh, nice. - Well, I must go, Norman.

- Well, I must go, Norman. - Of course.

- Goodbye, Norman. - Bye, Miss Gibson.

Hey, Miss Gibson! (shouting) You haven't had nothing to eat.

So there's all your cake and everything left on the table. You haven't had any tea or...

Your bill, sir.

Oh!

Thank you!

I paid for them, I'm gonna have them.

Oh, hasn't she turned up yet?

Oh, never mind! Here, have a cake! Go on!

Oh, you messed it up. Go and have another one.

Will you leave my theatre?

Your theatre? Ha-ha-ha...your theatre...

- Here you are, sir. - Thank you.

Sir?

Get out!

Well, I think it's all settled then. The orphanage will be sold.

I'm anxious about the children.

Does the move have to be so soon?

Mr Carter needs the site immediately.

But you don't have to worry about the dear children.

Look, ladies and gentlemen.

The way I see the orphanage might like to have a say in its future.

In other words, the Matron certainly should be consulted.

Of course, the Matron will be consulted.

What are your views, Lady Wilson?

If it is for the good of the children,

the sooner they're moved the happier I shall be.

Nobody could 've put it better.

We will meet and go to the orphanage

on Saturday to settle the matter.

Good evening!

Go on out of it! Go on!

It's a sport of gentlemen.

And ladies and gentlemen cos it's a sport that has made England famous.

And it might make you famous. It's not for nothing.

Ten pounds!

Ten pounds for an amateur boxer who lasts 3 rounds

with one of my boys here tonight.

Ten pounds in cash without any hanky-panky!

Go 3 rounds and win 10 pounds. It's as easy as a that, ha-ha.

And who doesn't want 10 pounds? It's money for jam.

3 rounds for 10 pounds.

Continuous performance and no waiting.

Here's the best value for money to say nothing of the excitement.

Come inside and enjoy yourselves!

Bring the kids in too...

And will I claim that I will make you do the impossible?

I assure you, ladies and gentlemen.

It is not idle boast.

I am not one of those twopenny-halfpenny fakers.

But to prove to you

that you will see the genuine article inside

I'm willing to hypnotize any member of the audience -

free, gratis and for nothing

here and now and in full view of you all.

Who is it gonna be?

What is your name?

Norman.

- And what do you want, Norman? - I wanna be boxer.

I wanna go 3 rounds and win 10 pounds.

Blimey! It works!

Open your eyes!

Stand up! Sit down!

It does work.

Stand up!

Rules are rules! That's all for tonight, folks.

Give him the money!

- Did I win? - No.

Not quite, son.

But it was nice going.

I think I'm going to find Norman.

- Excuse me. - Fine.

Oi, son!

Here! Hold your cap out, son.

A magic collection for you. Sixteen bob.

Oh, good.

I only need 11 pounds 4 now, don't I?

- Good night, son. - Good night. And thank you.

Norman.

Norman.

Hello, Miss Gibson.

That was wonderful of you, Norman.

I know why are you fought. To get the money for Jimmy's present.

I nearly won.

I know. I saw you.

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to take this on loan. You can pay me that whenever you can.

- Oh, no, no. I couldn't. - Please, Norman.

They made a collection for me in there. I'm all right now.

- You've got enough? - Yes, yes.

There you are. Jolly good, Norman.

Come on, dear. It's getting late.

- Good night, Norman. - (Alec) Good night.

Now and again

I venture to suggest

To a Lady that maybe she'll be mine

But you can bet

The Lady with regret

Will politely but firmly decline

No matter what I do

No matter what I say

No matter how I work it out.

No matter if I pray

Please

Opportunity, come my way

Make a promise that someone will say

Darling, I love you.

Bring summer into this winter of mine

Make a promise that somewhere sometime

I'll fall into love

Can't help thinking there might be

A girl who's like me

Lonely

Just the same as myself

She's been left on the shelf

And only waiting for life to begin

So please

Opportunity, come my way

Let us meet so that someday she may

Fall in love with me.

I don't need three guesses to tell who those belong to.

Well, somebody's gonna do them for him.

Well, you could do worse.

- Where is "Trouble" anyway? - Oh, he went to the fair.

- Norman, your eye? - I've been boxing. I nearly won.

Oh, I can see that.

You look, thay've made a collection for me.

I've got 16 shillings.

That's fat lot of good.

I lost the last few more seconds...

Well, shut up a minute!

Marry and me, we've found the money for the car.

- How? - Well, never mind that.

You can pay us back when you can, Norman.

I couldn't take it from you.

Don't be ungrateful. Of course you can very well take it.

We're doing it for ourselves really.

You see, if you get killed, we'll get 10 times as much work to do.

That's right.

Go on. Put it in your pocket now

and I'll fix your eye.

Come on.

It doesn't matter about me eye.

What're we gonna do about Mr bigley?

Oh, wait a minute. We'll tell you all about that.

- Hello, sonny! What's the matter with you, er? - Someone's taken my motor car.

Never mind. We'll soon find it again.

Hey, just a minute!

Hey! Hey, you! Hey!

Hey, you!

- Constable, we've been trying. - All right, try again later.

Yes, I know about that.

Go get that man! A car's been stolen.

Stop! Follow that car.

Hey, look out! Get it out of the way.

Get out! Get out!

Oi!

Turn round! Quick!

Oi! There's a liberty!

Put me down.

Put me down. Hey, put me down.

Oh!

Well, now the last details are settled

let's go to the orphanage and make the necessary arrangements with the Matron.

Yes, I've asked my surveyor and he's insisted to meet you, sir.

Good idea. You're coming with us, Alec?

Sorry, father, I've promised to meet Iris.

Thank you, Martin.

I've got it.

It's lovely, Norman.

Innit?

Where's Jimmy? (yelling) Jimmy!

- Well, isn't he with you? - No.

Oh, we thought you've taken him with you. He's been away all morning.

He's run away, Norman. He said he would.

Oh, why didn't you watch him.

Start operation "Stop them"!

There we are.

What a peaceful old place this is?!

It seems a pity to pull it down for a factory.

Oh, but how ideal for your workmen.

Coming in round the side, gardens round the back.

Enemy detachment approaching on front door.

Right. Prepare to execute defensive plan number 4.

Get weaving, kids.

Well, shall I lead the way?

Switch on!

Now, leave this to me, sir.

Now, stop this...

...my dear...sir.

Please, can I go to Tonypandy from this station, please?

Not in a straight line, son.

Why? You're going?

- Yes, please. - Oh!

Have you got any money?

Four pence halfpenny.

I'm afraid, that's not enough, sonny.

You're from the orphanage, aren't you?

Hey, come back!

Miss Gibson. Have you seen Jimmy? He's run away.

It's all my fault so I gotta find him.

What about the orphanage and Mr Bigley?

Well, I can't go back to the orphanage. I gotta find Jimmy.

Ah, look, Norman, all the other children depend on you.

If they close the orphanage you won't have any of them, not even Jimmy.

- I know but........ - Now, you go straight back!

I'll look for Jimmy. He can't have got very far.

Thank you, Miss Gibson.

Well, hurry up.

- Very well. We'll enter by force. - Good.

Stay there, ladies.

HQ, gunnery officers. Stand by!

Now!

- Look! - Where?

Fire!

Thank you. Uh-huh!

Hey, Scotty, grab her!

Oh! Stop it!

Open the door, you little idiots or I'll send for the police.

Oh!

Hello. Hello, giv...

Hey, ho. Oh, take it easy.

Hold on, wait. Wait for me.

Follow me!

Fire!

You'll pay for this if I ...

Go on, go on then!

Keep to the left! Don't go there!

Look out!

Bring it over here.

Get hold on that.

Oh-uh-uh.

Here, hold on this, Milady.

Ah-ah!

Right!

Hurry up! Open the door. I wanna get in.

Hey, hey, what's the game?

Grab him.

This is intolerable. Follow me.

Nancy, you go there. Dotty, you go there.

Now, children, I absolutely insist that...

Oh!

Oh, uh! Ah!

Save me.

Flying saucers?! I'm getting outta here.

Open the window!

Change direction.

Oh!

It's me, Norman.

Enemy reinforcements approaching.

OK, Martin. Prepare secret weapon.

Prepare secret weapon.

Tell him, I'm coming up.

Cook's coming up.

Oh, let me go! Help!

And this is my lot.

- Stop! - All right, keep your orphanage.

Anybody who wants it as bad as your kids do deserves to have it.

I agree.

Thank you, Mr Carter. And you, Lady Wilson.

We won! We won!

Let's go away.

We won! We won!

Lady Wilson said we can stay.

- Jimmy! - Norman!

Get the car!

I've got it, Jimmy. I've got the car.

Kept me promise.

Thank you, Norman but I don't want it.

Miss Gibson brought me an airplane and it flies.

We won, Miss Gibson.

I'm so glad, Norman.

I must go, Norman. Alec is calling.

- Oh, Norman! Does it hurt? - A bit.

Uh!

Sorry, Norman but I didn't mean it.

Oh, of course you didn't, Jimmy.

Come on, loves.

Oh, ah uh!

(All) laughing.
