I dashed into the 197 00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,500 office at eight. There was absolutely no one here I could consult except the 198 00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:13,480 cleaners. And so I sent the telex on my own authority. 199 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:15,640 You've landed us up to the neck in a deal that... 200 00:17:25,369 --> 00:17:26,790 John, can you spare it? Yeah, I know. 201 00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:34,070 Well, it looks as if your unauthorized telex has probably made us a great deal 202 00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:35,070 of money. 203 00:17:37,910 --> 00:17:38,910 Well done, Arthur. 204 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:40,350 Thank you, sir. 205 00:18:05,830 --> 00:18:10,710 I'm just off to the Palmer's.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to manage without my 207 00:18:16,750 --> 00:18:17,750 I need it. 208 00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:19,770 A hard luck. 209 00:18:20,270 --> 00:18:24,590 You can have that suit and the shirt still at the laundry. 210 00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:29,470 You owe me five weeks' rent and the loan, 300 thudding pounds. 211 00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,250 I'll lend you a cheque. 212 00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:33,130 You've got no bank account, you told me. 213 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,800 I need the clothes, and I need the money. That's your problem. 214 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:44,860 For me, it's palm trees, white beaches, and the tinkle of ice in rum 215 00:18:44,860 --> 00:18:45,860 cocktails. 216 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,520 What are you doing up there? 217 00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:00,080 Um, Mr. Prince has gone abroad and his damn trunk takes up far too much room. 218 00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:03,320 You might have hurt yourself or scratched the paint. 219 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,980 No, there's no damage done. 220 00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:09,980 Eleanor, I wondered if I could put it in your cellar just for the time being.
