Ah, good evening, everyone.

Not all here yet, then, I see?

Ah, well, not to worry.

Ah, good evening, Giovanni.

Oh, Is not good anything.

Why, What's the matter?

I've got a terrible overhang.

The word is hangover.

Well, whatever
it is, I've got it.

I drank too much
vino at lunchtime.

Oh, it's fatal
to drink at midday.

Oh, good evening, Max.

Oh, please, don't
speak too loud.

I am thinking you have
been also looking on the wine

too much.

That's the trouble.

He's not looking, he's
drinking, like me.

Why did you drink so much?

It was the feast of my
patron saint, St. Maximilian.

So we had a drink.

Then we drink to my
patron, St. Giovanni.

Then we have a drink
for my patriarch.

Then one for the Pope--
- Archimedes--

Leonardo da Vinci--

Madame Curie--

Sophia Loren--

And after that,
I remember nothing.

Me neither.

You'd better go
and sit down gently.

Excuse me, please.

Ah!

That way.

Ali, What are you doing?

I'm checking with my compass.

Checking what?

I wanting to find
out where is Mecca.

Hey, I know where Mecca is.

It's a big dance
place in Hammersmith.

Ah, you spaghetti head.

You are not understanding.

I'm explaining to you.

Tomorrow I'm having
the honor of leading

the prayer in our holy mosque.

So tonight, I'm going to have
a practice after the class.

Waste of time.

The Sikh religion
is the true faith!

That's not true.

Catholic religion is true faith.

Roman Catholic--

What about Greek Orthodox?

What about Martin Luther?

Shinto.

Buddha.

Religion not true.

Only state is true.

Settle down, everyone.

Sit down.

Actually, you're all wrong.

According to the Bible,
the original true faith

was the Jewish one.

- I don't believe it.
- It's true.

It's Holy Writ.

Who writ it?

Holy Writ is the Bible.

Yeah, you can't
believe everything

you read in the Bible.
- No?

Why not?

Well, some of it's, how
you say, fairy's tales.

You take that Adam and Eve.

Now, you're not
going to tell me it

was only an apple he was after.

Yeah, I know
what he was after.

I'm sure you do, but
we won't pursue that.

You're here to
improve your English,

not disprove the Bible.

Danielle is late this evening.

However, we'll carry
on without her.

As you know, in
a few weeks' time

you will all be taking
your lower Cambridge,

so tonight I thought I'd
give you an oral examination.

You are wanting to
look at our tooths?

No, I mean that I'm to go
'round the class and ask you

all to give me some
answers and hope

that I get some correct ones.

We are having a quiz.

Yes, sort of.

Like Mr. Mind.

Mastermind.

Yes, please.

Actually, that's
not a bad idea, Ali.

Let's make it competitive.

We'll have a
knockout competition.

You mean like the big punch?

Only verbally.

I'll go 'round the
class and whoever

fails to answer a question
correctly drops out, all right?

Now, where should we start?

Yes, Jamila.

I'll give you an easy
one to start with.

What is the plural of goose?

Goose.

Yes, one goose, two--

Gooses?

She's knockered out.

Jamila, the plural
of goose is geese.

- Oha, geese.
- We won't count that.

Let's have another one.

Let me see.

What is the opposite of good?

Not good.

I would have preferred
you to have said bad,

but we'll accept that.

All right.

Giovanni, what is an epistle?

That's easy.

An epistle is the
wife of an apostle.

That's you out.

I'm wrong?

Yes.

An epistle is a letter.

Max, give me another
word for forward.

Macdonald.

Macdonald?

Yeah, he plays
forward for Arsenal.

I don't mean that
kind of forward.

Another word for
the moving forward.

Advance?

Advance, yes.

Good, well done.

Anna, another word for debunk.

Debed.

No, Anna, it
means to ridicule.

Ali, correct the
following sentence.

Last night, I am
going to the cinema.

Last night I am not
going to the cinema.

Wrong.

It is not wrong,
because last night

I'm not going anywhere at all.

You should've said, last
night I went to the cinema.

But I'm telling
you, I didn't went.

It doesn't matter
whether you did or didn't.

You're out, all right?

I'm sorry I'm so
late, Mr. Brown.

That's all right, Danielle.

Were you held up by the traffic?

No, I was held up by a man.

Heavens!

You mean a mugger?

I do not know his name.

But he works as a woodwork
teacher here in the school.

One of the teachers
here tried to rob you?

- No, not rob me.
- Oh.

Well, surely not--

He was trying to chat me up.

Oh, I see.

He wanted to take me out.

You want I give him
a bunch of fivers?

He is bigger than you, Max.

Everybody's bigger than Max.

Hey!

Watch what you're saying, huh?

Listen, Nana Mouskouri,
you don't frighten me.

OK, come outside.

All right, settle
down, you two.

Come on.
Don't worry about it, Danielle.

I'm sure that this woodwork
teacher, whatever his name is,

was only trying to be friendly.

But he was trying to
be more than friendly.

He would not let
me go past until I

agreed to have dinner with him.

He does seem to have
been rather persistent.

Then, eureka.

I have heard you
say a brainwash.

Wave.

Yes.

I tell him I cannot
go with him because I

am engaged to be married.

Very good.

Quick thinking.

There's only one problem.

What was that?

I tell him I'm engaged
to be married to you.

To me?

Yes.

It was a good idea, yes?

It was a good idea, no
Did anybody overhear you?

Only Gladys.

Oh, great.

That's worse than putting
it on the news at 10:00.

It'll be all over
the school by now.

You said Mr. Brown is
engaged to his French student?

That's right.

I heard her tell Mr.
Jarvis in the tea room.

This is absolutely
disgraceful.

I think he might have had
the decency to tell me first.

Tell you?

Yes.

It's most inconsiderate.

Oh, dear.

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

Didn't know what?

Oh, nothing.

Nothing.

I must be getting back.

Oh, Gladys, did you
say anything to Miss

Courtney about Danielle and me?

Only in passing.

Oh, great.

I'd better go and check it.

I didn't mean any harm.

I'd no idea she felt that way.

What way?

About you.

What are you talking about?

Oh, unrequited love.

Pardon?

You and her ladyship.

She fancies you.

Don't be ridiculous.

Oh, it's true.

Oh, she was very upset when she
heard about you and Danielle.

Gladys, I don't
know where you've

got this ridiculous
story from, but you

are completely mistaken.

Oh, no, I'm not.

I heard her.

You mean she told you
that she fancied me?

Well, not in so many
words, but I knew.

It was written
all over her face.

I can't believe it.

Yes.

It's not unusual, though.

Oh, lots of older women
fall for younger men.

My sister ran off with
the 30-year-old milkman.

Really?

How old was your sister?

65.

Miss Courtney's always
given me the impression

that she didn't like me.

Oh, well, women
are very funny.

And she's at a funny age.

You can say that again.

Well, the best of luck.

Thank you.

Come to think of it, you're
not far off it, yourself.

Enter.

Miss Courtney--

Well, well, if it isn't
the college Casanova.

Yes, well, I've come
to explain about that.

Are you sure you
can spare the time?

It's a complete
misunderstanding.

You see, I'm not really
engaged to Danielle.

She only said that to
stop one of the teachers

from pestering her.
- Really.

It's perfectly true.

The chap who teaches
the woodwork class

was trying to chat her up.

Mr. Jarvis.

Is that his name?

I've never met him.

Anyway, she concocted the
whole thing just to get out

of an embarrassing situation.

I see.

I'm terribly sorry,
especially in view of, well--

In view of what?

Well, I hardly
like to mention it.

Well, you have mentioned it,
so you may as well continue.

Let me say right away
that it's a perfectly

natural thing to happen.

What is?

Well, for one
person to be attracted

to another despite a
difference in their ages.

To what two persons
are you referring?

Well, you and I.

You and I?

Yes.

Oh, Mr. Brown, I had no idea
you felt like that about me.

Pardon?

As you said yourself,
it's perfectly natural.

Oh, you poor dear boy.

No, Miss Courtney,
you don't understand.

Oh, but I do.

Men have always found
me rather fascinating.

I'm sure they have, but
let me explain, you see--

Now, there is no need to
apologize for the way you feel.

Yes, but I--

Of course, it's
out of the question.

But Miss Courtney, please--

Now, don't start groveling.

You'll get over it.

Yes, I suppose I will.

And now I suggest you go and
squash this foolish rumor about

you and your French fianc e.

Right, I'll do that.

Thank you.

And Mr. Brown?

Yes, Miss Courtney?

Don't worry about this
awkward little affair.

I shan't tell a soul.

Your secret is safe with me.

You're very kind.

Poor fellow.

Danielle, give
us a kiss, come on.

Mr. Brown!

Danielle, why aren't
you in the classroom?

I'm trying to explain
to Mr. Jarvis what

I said between us is not true.

Ah, it's every man for
himself, is it, Brown?

Look, I'd appreciate
it, Mr. Jarvis,

if you stopped pestering my
students, if you don't mind.

A bit sensitive, are we?

A touch of the green eye, is it?

Certainly not.

Well, then.

As they say in this lovely
lady's land, ferme la bouche.

Shut your gob.

Don't you speak to
Mr. Brown like this.

He will be angry with you.

Oh, really?

He is not frightened of you.

Oh, aren't you?

Well, I--

No, he's not.

And if you're not
careful, he will hit you.

- Danielle.
- He couldn't hit a fly.

Look, Jarvis, I'm not
in the slightest bit--

And he is ready
whenever you are.

Right.

Tonight, after
class, in the yard.

We'll have a punchup.

Yeah, but--

Hello, Mr. Brown.

Thanks, Sid.

Fancy drop of tiddly?

Hm?

- A tiddly wink.
- Tiddly wink?

- A drink.
- Oh, a drink.

A drop of Jack na dandy.

Jack na dandy?

Drop of brandy.

Oh.

Get these
for the big fight.

No, thanks.

Please yourself.

I suppose it's
all over the school?

Ah, the news has got around.

Hey, listen, I could give
you a few tips, you know.

Tips?

Yeah, I used to
read them right.

- Fight?
- You've got it.

You've got it.

Listen, I'll tell
you what you do.

You put your hands up like that.

You stand and you start weaving.

All of a sudden, you do
the old alley shuffle.

And then a one-two!

Oy!

Sorry.

Actually, I feel
rather nervous.

Oh, it's your naladin, isn't it?

- Naladin?
- Yeah.

Adrenaline?

Oh, well you should know.

You should be all right once
you beat him a couple of times.

It's him hitting me
that's worrying me.

Perhaps if I had a
quiet word with him,

he might forget the whole thing.

Listen, you
can't back out now.

There's a principle involved.

Well, let her
fight Mr. Jarvis.

They're more evenly matched.
- Yeah, but listen.

It's a point of honor.

You mustn't let Mr. Jarvis
know you're frightened of him.

I think he knows already.

Oh, well.

I'll see you later.

Don't forget the old one-two.

Right, right, thanks.

Professore--

- Hello, Giovanni.
- This fight.

What about it?

Well, we show you how to win.

When you get in the ring, first
you smash him in the stomach.

And when his head comes down,
you knee him under the chin.

No, no, no, no, no.

That better.

Chop.

No, no, no, no.

Look.

First you hit him in
the throat, and then

you bust him in the stomach.

All right, all
right, that'll do.

There's no need for
any more fighting.

You're here to learn English.

Don't forget why you're here.

Right.

And now who haven't I
asked a question so far?

Right.

Su-Lee, give me the
comparative and the superlative

of the following
adjective, all right?

Rude.

Lewd, lewder, lewdest.

Light-- right.

Ranjeet, compete the
following proverb.

A bird in the hand--

Makes mess on your wrist.

A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush.

You're out.

Right, Danielle.

Explain the meaning of
the word illiterate.

That is someone whose
parents are not married.

Danielle, that's illegitimate.

Sorry.
- Oh.

Juan.

S , Se or.

Give me the opposite
of the following words.

Ready?
- Not ready.

I haven't started.

I have started.

Juan!

I lost.

That's enough.

Eh-- that's not enough.

Stop.

Go.

Sit down!

Stand up.

Oh, somebody stop him, please.

Silencio.

Hey, I do good, huh?

Yes, good.

Yo soy un talento.

All right, Taro.

Ah so.

Give me the following
tenses of the verb "to move".

Past perfect, the present
perfect, the past continuous.

Well, say something, Taro.

I am out.

Right.

Who have we got left in?

Well, let's see how many of
you can survive another round.

Jamila, can you count up to 10?

Tea?

Count up to 10, 1-2-3.

Ek, do, teen, chaar, paanch,
chhah, saat, aaath, nou, das.

No, in English.

One, two, four--

Three.

Six--

Four!

Sorry, Jamila.

Max, give me another word
and explain to me what--

what is the meaning of syntax.

Is it a tax you pay
when you go to the church?

No, it means
sentence construction.

Su-Lee, spell democracy.

C-H-I-N-A.

And I suppose if I'd asked
you to spell dictatorship,

you'd have spelt out England?

Or America.

Well, Juan.

That leaves only you.

If you can answer the
next question correctly,

you will be the
brain of the class,

which doesn't say an awful
lot for the rest of them.

Por favor?

Here is your question.

What is another name for a
valley between two mountains?

- Valley between two mountains.
- S .

Yes.

Eh-- pass.

Right.

Yes.

I win.

I am the big talento, big brain.

Yeah, it goes
with your big head.

All right, all right.

Don't start.

Please.

Thank you, sit down.

Ex-squeeze me
please, Mr. Brown.

Yes, Ali.

It is home-going time?

Yeah, well not quite.

But you are wanting to
get ready for your big fight

tonight with the
woodpecker teacher?

We are wanting
to be there in time

to see you knock the
stuffing out of him.

There's not going
to be any fight.

You don't mean that.

I do.

Santa Maria, what about
all the money we paid?

Money?

You mean you've been
betting on the result?

Sure!

We all put in one pound each.

What, 10 pounds on me to win?

No.

We back the other fellow.

Thanks a lot.

Nah, I'm only joking.

Sure we back you to win.

You ready, then?

- Ready?
- Yeah.

For the fight.
- Ah, yes.

The fight.

Look, could I have a word
with you, Mr. Jarvis, outside?

Well?

Look, we're both
reasonable men.

I'm not.

I'm sure we can
settle this amicably.

I'm sure we can.

Oh, good.

After I've knocked
your block off.

Ah, just the two
persons I wanted to see.

What's all this I
hear about a fight?

Just a private matter
between Mr. Brown and meself.

Nonsense.

It's common knowledge
throughout the whole school.

Now step into my office,
shut the door behind you,

and take heed, for I
shall not tell you again.

I will not have members of
my staff brawling in public.

I absolutely forbid it.
- You do?

- Most definitely.
- Oh, good.

I mean, oh, what a pity.

I was quite looking
forward to it.

That's not the
impression I got.

Do you mean to tell me
that you were actually

looking forward to this fight?

Oh, yes.

Besides, there was a
point of honor at stake.

What point of honor?

This person insulted
Miss Danielle Favre.

He forced his attentions on her.

I see.

Male chauvinism, eh, Mr. Jarvis?

Well, why not?

Women like to be dominated.

Nonsense.

Oh, come now, Miss Courtney.

Man is by nature the hunter.

Oh, well, this puts
an entirely different

complexion on the matter.
- It does?

Yes.

Much as I abhor fighting, I feel
that under the circumstances,

perhaps your motives
were justified.

Oh!

We can have our little
punchup in the yard.

Certainly not.

Oh, thank goodness.

You will settle your
differences in a much more

civilized and sporting manner.

Oh, I quite agree.

How about a game of chess?

The school has a
perfectly good gymnasium.

If you must knock
each other about,

I suggest you do it there,
tomorrow night, after class.

Where is Mr. Brown?

He's just putting
his gloves on.

Oh, here he comes now.

Sit down, please.

I have something for you.

What's that?

If you put this
in his clothes,

you'll break

Yeah, and probably
my wrists, too.

No, thank you.
- Excuse, please.

No, Taro, you do
that after each round.

All right!

All right.

Gentlemen, please.

Quiet, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, this
is a three-round contest.

Three minutes each round.

On my right, from the woodwork
department, Nigel Jarvis.

And on my left, from the
language class, Jeremy Brown.

Now listen, I want
a good, clean fight.

Remember this.

I want no scratching,
holding, gouging,

hitting below the
belt. Shake hands now

and come out fighting.

Second out.

Good luck, Mr. Brown.

Where's the stool?

No, it isn't over yet.

He's supposed to be
having a fight, not a dance.

Why don't you stand and fight?

All right, you've
asked for it.

I'll give you the
old alley shuffle.

And the old one-two.

One-- two--

Three.

One, two, three,
four, five, six,

Other corner.

Big poof.

You are getting
him very worried.

Yeah, he's worried
he's going to kill me.

We're going to lose our money.

We gotta do something.

I have an idea.

Hey, that's a good idea.

Hey, Mr. Woodwork, you
box real good, you know.

Thanks.

Listen, you box before?

Aye, once or twice.

I don't reckon your Mr. Brown
stands much of a chance.

Oh, maybe.

Somehow I don't think I'd like
to be in your shoes, you know?

Yeah, I know.

One, two, three,
four, five, six.

Oh, good evening, everyone.

Hooray!

Mr. Brown, I want to thank
you, what you did last night.

You were so brave.

It was nothing, really.

Mr. Brown, Mr. Brown!

- What is it?
- Oh, blimey.

He's at it again.

Who's at it again?

That woodpecker
teacher, Mr. Jarvis.

He's making
advantageous to Jamila.

Advances?

Yes, please.

So I'm giving him
kick in his backside,

and now he's challenging
me to a punchup.

Oh, not again.

I don't think you should
go through with it, Ali.

I mean, with all
due respect, you're

not as experienced as I am.

That is what I am thinking.

So I'm telling
this to Mr. Jarvis.

Good.

The fight is taking place
tonight in the gymnasium.

I'm sorry, I thought you
said you weren't fighting him.

Oh, no, not me.

But I'm naming you
as my substitute.
